Title: Elbe Area Service Transmission Project : Environmental Assessment.

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5193273

A brief summary of the environmental impacts which would result from the construction and operation of the proposed 115-kV transmission line from Alder Dam to the town of Elbe is presented. Mitigation measures which would be included in the design, construction, and operation of the facility to minimize these impacts are also listed. The impacts identified are not significant because none are high in intensity or extent, and most would be minimized or avoided by the mitigation measures integrated into the proposal. This action would not establish a precedent for future actions with significant effects. No other development activity or transmission project is planned or being developed as a result of, or in relation to this proposal. Unless additional impacts which are significant are identified during public and agency review of this document, or as a consequence of Lewis County PUD's construction of the Elbe Substation, BPA will not consider this project to be a major Federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment. Therefore, an Environmental Impact Statement will not be required.
