Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) proposes to replace the overhead ground wire because routine inspections revealed that it has failed due to corrosion. Project activities will include the removal and replacement of the two existing overhead ground wires and their supporting hardware in the last mile of the transmission line. This will also require replacement of the small steel attachment brackets on five Fairview-Rogue lattice steel structures (structures 66/1, 66/2, 66/3, and 66/4). In addition, up to five temporary guard structures may be placed within the right-of-way (ROW) to protect adjacent facilities and the public from potential hazards above. Finally, a temporary access road will be built to tower 66/3 to provide access for the project.
