Albany-Eugene Transmission Line Rebuild Project

AGENCY: Bonneville Power Administration (BPA), Department of Energy 
(DOE).

ACTION: Notice of Availability of Record of Decision (ROD).

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This notice announces the availability of the ROD to implement 
the Proposed Action Alternative, based on the Albany-Eugene 
Transmission Line Rebuild Project (DOE/EIS-0457, March 2012). BPA has 
decided to rebuild a 32-mile section of the existing Albany-Eugene 115-
kV transmission line that extends from the Albany Substation in the 
City of Albany in Linn County, Oregon, to the Alderwood Tap near 
Junction City in Lane County, Oregon. Rebuild activities will include 
removing and replacing existing wood-pole structures and associated 
structural components and conductors, establishing better access to the 
line, improving access roads, developing staging areas for storage of 
materials, removing vegetation including danger trees, and revegetating 
areas disturbed by construction activities. The existing structures 
will be replaced with structures of similar design within or near to 
their existing locations. The line will continue to operate at 115 kV.

ADDRESSES: Copies of the ROD and EIS may be obtained by calling BPA's 
toll-free document request line, 1-800-622-4520. The ROD and EIS 
Summary are also available on our Web site, www.efw.bpa.gov.
