EA-1467: Finding of No Significant Impact

Bonneville-Alcoa Access Road Project

Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) proposes to establish a half mile of access road to tower 9/1 along the Bonneville-Alcoa No. 1 115-kilovolt (kV) transmission line. The road is needed to replace maintenance and emergency access to tower 9/1 because the road previously used to access the tower is blocked by a landslide that occurred in 1996. Approximately 1/8 mile of the proposed road exists, although it is overgrown and needs brush clearing. The remaining 3/8 mile of road would be constructed.
