Bangor Hydro-Electric Company Northeast Reliability Interconnect; Hancock, Penobscot, and Washington Counties, Maine

DOE issued a record of decision, which included a floodplain statement of findings, selecting DOE’s preferred alternative analyzed in DOE/EIS–0372 for the Bangor Hydro-Electric Company Northeast Reliability Interconnect. This alternative is to amend Presidential Permit PP–89 to authorize Bangor Hydro-Electric Company to construct, operate, maintain, and connect a single-circuit, 345,000-volt (345-kV) electric transmission line that would originate at an existing Orrington Substation, near Orrington, Maine, extend eastward approximately 85 miles, cross the U.S.-Canada border near Baileyville, Maine, and continue into New Brunswick, Canada.
