DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Bonneville Power Administration

Mercer Ranch Power Project

AGENCY: Bonneville Power

Administration (BPA), Department of

Energy (DOE).

ACTION: Notice of intent to prepare an

Environmental Impact Statement (EIS).

SUMMARY: This notice announces BPA’s

intention to prepare a joint National

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA)/State

Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) EIS in

cooperation with the State of

Washington Energy Facility Site

Evaluation Council (EFSEC) for an

electrical interconnection with a

proposed power plant. BPA is the lead

Federal agency under NEPA and EFSEC

is the lead Washington State agency

under SEPA. The Mercer Ranch Power

Project is an 800-megawatt (MW)

generating station proposed by Mercer

Ranch Power LLC (MRP) that would be

located between the communities of

Paterson and Roosevelt in Benton

County, Washington. MRP has

requested an interconnection to BPA’s

transmission system that would allow

power delivery to customers in the

Pacific Northwest. A switchyard will be

constructed to integrate power from the

generating station into the Federal

Columbia River Transmission System

(FCRTS). BPA proposes to execute an

agreement with MRP to provide the

interconnection and transmission of

power.

ADDRESSES: To be placed on the project

mailing list, including notification of

proposed meetings, call toll-free 1–800–

622–4520, name this project, and leave

your complete name and address. To

comment, call toll-free 1–800–622–

4519; send an e-mail to the BPA Internet

address comment@bpa.gov; or send a

letter to Communications, Bonneville

Power Administration—KC–7, P.O. Box

12999, Portland, Oregon, 97212.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION, CONTACT:

Donald L. Rose, Bonneville Power

Administration—KEC–4, P.O. Box 3621,

Portland, Oregon, 97208–3621; toll-free

telephone 1–800–282–3713; direct

telephone 503–230–3796; or e-mail

dlrose@bpa.gov. Additional information

can be found at BPA’s web site,

www.bpa.gov; and EFSEC’s web site,

www.efsec.wa.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The EIS

will assess the environmental

consequences of the proposed project,

including:

• The proposed interconnection

agreement with MRP;

• The construction and operation of

the power plant;

• The construction and operation of

less than one-half mile of natural gas

pipeline to tie into Northwest Pipeline

Corporation (NWP) pipeline;

• The construction and operation of

an interconnection to the FCRTS

consisting of:

• Approximately one-half mile of

500-kilovolt (kV) transmission line; and

• A new 500-kV switchyard (Crow

Butte) linking the Mercer Ranch Power

Project to one or more BPA 500-kV

transmission lines.

Later this winter, one or more EIS

scoping meetings will be held by BPA,

EFSEC, and MRP to provide information

on the project and associated BPA

transmission interconnection and

upgrades and to identify topics to be

addressed in the EIS. A 45-day comment

period will be announced, during which

affected landowners, concerned

citizens, special interest groups, local

governments, and any other interested

parties are invited to comment on the

scope of the proposed EIS. A 30-day

notice of the meeting(s), including time

and location, will be provided to

interested persons. At the meeting(s),

BPA and EFSEC will answer questions

and accept oral and written comments.

Receiving comments from interested

parties will ensure BPA and EFSEC

address the full range of issues and

potentially significant impacts related to

the proposed project in the EIS. When

completed, the Draft EIS will be
