Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) proposes to expand its Harrisburg Substation to place new substation equipment. The project would either involve expanding the existing substation to the east or building a slightly larger substation approximately 200 feet south across Substation Drive. If the substation is expanded to the east, approximately 1.2 acres of land would be needed. If it is expanded to the south, approximately 1.4 acres of land would be needed. At either site, a gravel pad would be placed to provide firm footings for the substation equipment, and a fence would be installed around the perimeter. Substation equipment would be placed within the fenced area. A new transmission line tap structure would be built on the Albany-Eugene line approximately 200 feet to the west.
