Bonneville Power Administration proposes to replace deteriorating wood-pole structures (including cross arms, insulators, guy anchors, etc.) on the La Pine - Chiloquin transmission line. Replacement would be in-kind, having the same height and configuration as the original. New poles would either be placed back in existing holes, or an auger attached to a backhoe would be used to drill new holes approximately 5 feet ahead or back on-line, from existing poles.
