Craig-Bonanza 345-kV transmission line project: Environmental assessment

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6903452
Appendix A presents the regional sensitivity criteria and results that were developed for identified alternative transmission line corridors for the Craig-Bonanza 345-kV Transmission Line Project. The sensitivity analysis involved evaluating the sensitivities of the regionally-documented environmental resources to change or conflict from the introduction of a 345-kV transmission line. The environmental sensitivity criteria were based on consideration of two factors: 1) the resource value of the environmental feature within the region; and 2) the susceptibility of the resource to change, modification or stress from the construction, operation and maintenance of the Project. Four levels of sensitivity were used by the resource specialists: Maximum, Major, Moderate and Minimal Sensitivity. The general definitions of the levels are presented, followed by the resource criteria and results.
