May 16, 2019The Bonneville Power Administration proposes to allow Puget Sound Energy to install a steel pole and run double circuit 230kV transmission lines from their Talbot Hill Substation to the northwest side of the BPA Maple Valley Substation in King County, WA. The 230 kV transmission lines would run approximately 100 feet from Puget Sound Energy’s Talbot Hill Substation to the new steel pole 0/2 in the BPA Right-of-way adjacent to Maple Valley Substation. The line would continue north approximately 500 feet to new Puget Sound Energy pole 0/3 on Puget Sound Energy property. The area of BPA-owned Right-of-way is located on the northwest side of the Maple Valley Substation and is adjacent to Puget Sound Energy’s Talbot Hill Substation. Puget Sound Energy also has an existing easement from BPA at this location. The site is located in Township 23 North, Range 05 East, Section 20.
