Description: In compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act, this Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS) evaluates the environmental effects of the construction, operation, and maintenance of the ON Line Project proposed by NV Energy in Clark, Eureka, Lincoln, Nye, and White Pine Counties, Nevada, on lands currently managed by the Ely and Southern Nevada District Offices of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM).  The Proposed Action and Action Alternative include construction of a 500 kV electric transmission line from the proposed Robinson Summit Substation extending 236 miles south to the Harry Allen Substation near Las Vegas, expansion of the existing falcon Substation in Eureka County, associated appurtenances and infrastructure, and use of best management practices and mitigation measures to avoid environmental impacts or minimize the magnitude, extent, and duration of impacts.  Associated federal actions include BLMs issuance of rights-of-way for construction and operation of the project.  The agency preferred alternative includes all of the same components as the Proposed Action with the exception of the RSS-Site B sub-alternative replacing the Robinson Summit Substation component.
