Nevada) with the Gonder substation

(north of Ely, Nevada). The project

would improve electricity import and

export capabilities to meet anticipated

growth in SPPC’s system.

The project, as currently proposed,

identifies several route alternatives. The

northern portion of any route would

head south from the Falcon substation

to Highway 50 near Eureka along one of

several possible alignments. The

southern portion of any route alternative

would then head east along Highway 50

to follow an existing Sierra 230 kV line

to the Gonder substation. The current

alternatives are identified as the

Crescent Valley (a), Crescent Valley (b),

Pine Valley (a), Pine Valley (b), and

Buck Mountain alternatives. The No

Action alternative is also analyzed. The

Pine Valley (a) route is BLM’s preferred

alternative.

As part of the proposed action, the

BLM is also considering amendments to

the RMPs for the Shoshone-Eureka

Resource Area, Elko Resource Area, and

Egan Resource Area to establish rightsof-way utility corridors along the

preferred alignment. The Elko RMP also

requires modifying the existing ‘‘low

visibility’’ corridor along Interstate 80.

Amendments to the Shoshone-Eureka

RMP also include the deletion of a

utility planning corridor that runs

parallel to State Highway 305.
