The previous categorical exclusion addressed the installation of 3 miles of aerial fiber optic cable on BPA’s Longview-Cowlitz 115-kilovolt (kV) transmission line and the rebuild of eight of the transmission structures to accommodate the additional weight of the fiber optic cable. In addition to the work described in the previous categorical exclusion, BPA proposes to rebuild eight additional wood pole structures to a higher pole class.
