The Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) proposes to replace 17 deteriorating wood poles and associated structural/electrical components (e.g. cross arms, insulators, guy anchors, etc.) along the Murray-Custer No. 1 and Snohomish-Bothell No. 1 230 kV (kilovolts) transmission lines. Replacement would be in-kind and would utilize the existing holes to minimize ground disturbance. If necessary, an auger would be used to remove any loose soil from the existing hole prior to new wood pole placement. New landing construction or access road development is not planned at these locations.
