Annual site environmental monitoring report for calendar year 1987
The Western Area Power Administration (Western) has established a formal environmental protection, auditing, monitoring, and planning program which has been in effect since 1978. The significant environmental projects and issues Western was involved with in 1987 are discussed in this annual site environmental monitoring report. It is written to demonstrate the nature and effectiveness of the environmental protection program. The Department of Energy Order 5481.1, Chapter 3, requires the preparation of an annual site environmental monitoring report. Because Western has numerous facilities located in fifteen states, this report was written to address the environmental activities in all of the facilities as one site''. Western sells power to 579 customers consisting of cooperatives, municipalities, public utility districts, private utilities, Federal and State agencies, irrigation districts, and project use customers. The wholesale power customers, in turn, provide service to millions of retail consumers in the States of California, Nevada, Montana, Arizona, Utah, New Mexico, Texas, North Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa, Colorado, Wyoming, Minnesota, Nebraska, and Kansas. Western is responsible for the operation and maintenance of 16,376 miles of transmission lines, 242 substations, 49 hydroelectric power generating plants, a Navajo coal-fired plant, and a wind farm in Wyoming.
