Project ROW, also along Rush Creek. All 

remaining portions of the Project ROW 

are located in Zone X, areas determined 

to be outside the 500-year floodplain. 

Construction of the Project would not 

substantially alter the normal drainage 

patterns or affect runoff rates because 

drainage patterns would not be altered, 

use of existing roads would be 

maximized, and the line would span the 

floodplains. Even if poles were to be 

located in a floodplain area, they would 

not contribute to the impedance of flood 

flows in this heavily forested area. No 

wetlands would be affected by the 

construction or operation of the Project. 

Mitigation Action Plan 

A MAP will be developed in 

accordance with 10 CFR 1021.331 that 

addresses mitigation commitments 

described above. The MAP will explain 

how the mitigation will be planned and 

implemented and will be available upon 

request. 

Decision 

Western’s decision is to construct the 

Trinity PUD Direct Interconnection 

Project as described above and in the 

EIS. Western will construct, own, 

operate, and maintain the transmission 

line and associated facilities. 

This decision is based on the 

information contained in the 

‘‘Environmental Impact Statement; 

Trinity Public Utilities District Direct 

Interconnection Project’’ (DOE/EIS–

0389); (Draft EIS issued February 2007, 

and Final issued November 2007). This 

ROD has been prepared in accordance 

with Council on Environmental Quality 

regulations for implementing NEPA (40 

Code of Federal Regulations [CFR] parts 

1500–1508) and DOE Procedures for 

Implementing NEPA (10 CFR part 1021), 

and DOE’s Floodplain/Wetland Review 

Requirements (10 CFR 1022). Full 

implementation of this decision is 

contingent upon the Project obtaining 

all applicable permits and approvals. 

Dated: January 15, 2008.
