The Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) is proposing to remedy three impairments along the Grand Ronde-Boyer transmission line located in Polk County, Oregon, within BPAs Salem District. An impairment is an area where the
distance from the conductor to the ground surface is inadequate, per National Electrical Safety Code (NESC) standards, resulting in a threat to line reliability and posing a risk to public health and safety. The proposed work is necessary to ensure the line meets current NESC and Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) standards.
