Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) proposes to upgrade its Kennewick communication site, located in Benton County, Washington, by 1) replacing the existing back-up engine generator and associated controls and ventilation system to ensure a reliable back-up power source for BPA’s communication equipment; and 2) replacing BPA’s aging VHF radio system with a simple, modern radio system with improved voice coverage across BPA’s service area.
