Vegetation Management along selected ROW sections of the Ostrander-Pearl transmission line. The ROWs include sections of the Ostrander-Pearl 500 kV line; the Ostrander-McLoughlin 500 kV line; the Big Eddy-Chemawa 230 kV line and the Big Eddy-McLoughlin 230 kV line. BPA proposes to clear unwanted vegetation in the rights-of-way and around tower structures that may impede the operation and maintenance of the subject transmission lines. The project also includes clearing approximately 3 miles of access road and cutting of some danger trees. All work will be in accordance with the National Electrical Safety Code and BPA Standards. BPA plans to conduct vegetation control with the goal of removing tall-growing vegetation that is currently or will soon be a hazard to the transmission lines and to promote low-growing plant communities in the right-of-way and to clear vegetation from new rights-of-way corridors.
