Draft Environmental Statement : the Alumax Environmental Statement.

Technical Report · Mon Jul 25 04:00:00 EDT 1977

OSTI ID:5836977

BPA proposed to serve the planned Alumax plant near Umatilla with ''Industrial Firm'' power, the same grade of power now being purchased by the other industrial customers served directly by BPA. The contract amount of power is 320 megawatts. This would involve construction and operation of the Alumax-Pacific Corporation, primary aluminum reduction plant and associated transmission and substation facilities, near Umatilla, Oregon. Construction and operation of the proposed facilities would result in degradation of air quality as related to particulates, sulfur oxides and fluorides. Increased population in adjacent local communities would require significant amounts of new land development, cause overcrowding in certain school districts, and further burden regional water systems. The increased tax base will allow for mitigation of these problems. 260 refs., 35 figs., 121 tabs.
