Summary
DOE is preparing an environmental assessment (EA) for the proposed 12.6-mile long Avista Utilities (Avista) 115 kV transmission line rebuild project on the Hanford Site. The proposed project is located, in part, on a portion of the Hanford Site designated as the Hanford Reach National Monument (Monument). A portion of the Monument, on which approximately 9.7 miles of the transmission line is located, is managed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) under a permit from DOE.
