Supplement Analysis for the Transmission System Vegetation Management Program FEIS (DOE/EIS-0285/SA-42)

Vegetation Management along the Snohomish – Murray #1 from str 1\4 to str 18\5. The proposed work will be to remove both danger and reclaim trees outside and inside the right-of-way, respectively. Right-of-way width varies from 125 to 300 feet. BPA proposes to remove both reclaim and danger trees inside and outside the transmission line right of way. BPA crews or contract crews will cut only trees that have been identified and marked as danger trees or reclaim trees. BPA plans to conduct tree removal with the goal of removing tall growing vegetation that is currently or will soon be a hazard to the transmission line. BPA’s overall goal is to have low-growing plant communities along the rights-of-way to control the development of potentially threatening vegetation. All work will be executed in accordance with the National Electrical Safety Code and BPA standards. Cut-stump or follow-up herbicide treatments on re-sprouting type species will be carried out to ensure that the roots are killed. No herbicide application will occur on forest service lands. Follow up with re-treatment in 3 to 7 years.
