AGENCY: Bonneville Power Administration (BPA), Department of Energy
(DOE).
ACTION: Notice of availability of Revised Record of Decision (ROD).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This notice announces the availability of the Revised ROD to
offer contract terms for an optional electrical interconnection of the
proposed Summit/Westward Project into the Federal Columbia River
Transmission System at a point near the existing Wauna Substation of
the Clatskanie People's Utility District (CPUD), Columbia County,
Oregon. The project developer, Westward Energy, LLC, is evaluating this
interconnection plan along with BPA's previous offer for
interconnection at BPA's Allston Substation (documented in a ROD dated
July 25, 2003). BPA's decision to offer contract terms is consistent
with our Business Plan Final Environmental Impact Statement (DOE/EIS-
0183, June 1995) and the Business Plan ROD (August 1995). In a related
action, BPA has also decided to facilitate CPUD construction of a new
230-kilovolt transmission line by allowing joint use of BPA right-of-
way through partial reconstruction of BPA's 115-kilovolt Allston-
Astoria No. 1 transmission line from single-circuit H-frame wood-pole
design to double-circuit single metal-pole design. Terms of BPA's
participation in this project will be documented in a Construction
Agreement.
ADDRESSES: Copies of the Business Plan EIS and ROD, the Summit/Westward
ROD of July 25, 2003, and this Revised ROD may be obtained by calling
BPA's toll-free document request line, 1-800-622-4520. These documents
are also available on our Web site at http://www.efw.bpa.gov.
