Draft Supplement to the Environmental Statement Fiscal Year 1975 Proposed Program : Facility Location Evaluation for Raver-Tacoma 500-kV Transmission Line, Study Area 74-5.

Technical Report · Fri Feb 15 04:00:00 EDT 1974

OSTI ID:5120459

Proposed construction of a 9.5-mile 500-kV double-circuit line connecting BPA's Raver and Covington Substations. The new line would replace 3.0 miles of existing BPA 230-kV lines and would then parallel an existing 500-kV line for 5.3 miles. Removal of 112 acres of forest, and diversion of that land to nonforest uses compatible with the transmission line right-of-way. Disturbance of game in the immediate vicinity of the route during construction, some soil erosion primarily during and immediately after construction, siltation in nearby streams, disturbance of nearby residents from noise and dust during construction, and some degradation of AM reception immediately adjacent to the right-of-way.
