BILLING CODE 6717–01–P 

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Bonneville Power Administration 

I–5 Corridor Reinforcement Project 

AGENCY: Bonneville Power 

Administration (BPA), Department of 

Energy (DOE). 

ACTION: Notice of Intent (NOI) to prepare 

an Environmental Impact Statement 

(EIS) and notice of floodplain and 

wetlands involvement. 

SUMMARY: BPA intends to prepare an EIS 

in accordance with the National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) on 

the construction, operation, and 

maintenance of a proposed 500-kilovolt 

(kV) transmission line and associated 

substations. The project would be 

located in Cowlitz and Clark counties, 

Washington, and Multnomah County, 

Oregon. The new BPA transmission line 

would extend generally southeast from 

a new substation proposed near Castle 

Rock in Cowlitz County, Washington 

(referred to as Castle Rock Substation), 

to a new substation proposed near 

BPA’s existing Troutdale Substation 

near the city of Troutdale in Multnomah 

County, Oregon. Multiple preliminary 

transmission line route segments have 

been identified that, when combined, 

result in various transmission line 

routing alternatives approximately 70 

miles long. The proposed transmission 

line and substations are needed to help 

ease transmission system congestion in 

the southwest Washington and 

northwest Oregon area, allowing BPA to 

fulfill existing and new transmission 

service requests for existing and new 

generation; improve system reliability; 

and meet continued electric load 

growth. 

With this NOI, BPA is initiating the 

public scoping process for the EIS. BPA 

is requesting comments about potential 

environmental impacts that it should 

consider as it prepares the EIS for the 

proposed project, as well as comments 

on preliminary transmission line route 

segments and the proposed substations 

that have been identified. 

In accordance with DOE regulations 

for compliance with floodplain and 

wetlands environmental review 

requirements, BPA will prepare a 

floodplain and wetlands assessment to 

avoid or minimize potential harm to or 

within any affected floodplains and 

wetlands. The assessment will be 

included in the EIS. 

DATES: Oral and written scoping 

comments are due to BPA no later than 

November 23, 2009. Comments may also 

be made at the EIS scoping meetings to 

be held between October 27 and 

November 7, 2009 at the addresses 

below. 

ADDRESSES: Send letters with comments 

on the proposed scope of the EIS to 

I–5 Corridor Reinforcement Project, P.O. 

Box 9250, Portland, OR, 97207, or by fax 

to (888) 315–4503. You may also call 

BPA’s comment and information line at 

(800) 230–6593 and leave a comment, or 

submit comments online at 

http://www.bpa.gov/go/i5. BPA will 

post all comments on BPA’s Web site at 

http://www.bpa.gov/i5. Submit requests 

to be placed on the project mailing list, 

for information, and questions to the 

same address and numbers above. 

On Tuesday, October 27, 2009, an 

open-house style scoping meeting will 

be held from 4 p.m. to
