Resource Programs : Draft Environmental Impact Statement. Summary.
The Resource Program (RPEIS) is a programmatic document which covers broad issues associated with resource acquisitions. The environmental impact statement (EIS) evaluates the environmental trade-offs among generic resource types and the cumulative effects of adding various combinations of these resources to the existing system. Before analyzing the actions Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) could take to meet the underlying need, the RPEIS evaluates the environmental effects of generic resource types and potential mitigation measures for each. Current supply curve analysis indicates that the following resource types could be available to meet future load growth through 2010: conservation; renewable resources; cogeneration; combustion turbines; nuclear power; and coal. Other means of meeting load, such as fuel switching from electricity to natural gas for space and water heating, energy imports, and efficiency improvements, are also evaluated. Emerging technologies that could become commercially available within the planning period, and various types of load management, have been included as well.
