CX-018788: Fiber Optic Cable Replacement on the Grand Coulee-Chief Joseph Number 2 Transmission Line Project

The Bonneville Power Administration proposes to replace damaged fiber optic cable between the control house at the Chief Joseph Substation and structure 33/5 via 33/6 on the Grand Coulee-Chief Joseph Number 2 transmission line. The new fiber cable would be installed overhead, and would be spliced into the existing Bonneville Power Administration fiber vault near structure 33/5. No trenching or excavation activities are proposed with this project. Vehicles and equipment would access structure 33/5 via established two-track dirt access roads and structure 33/6 via graveled surfaces located within the Chief Joseph Substation yard.
