The U.S. Forest Service prepared this statement to analyze three alternatives and associated environmental impacts for it to enable the CEE Exploration Company of Portland, Oregon to build and operate a geothermal pilot project and supporting facilities capable of generating 33 megawatts of electric power in the Deschutes National Forest in central Oregon. The Department of Energy’s Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) served as a cooperating agency in preparing this statement in order to fulfill its National Environmental Policy Act obligations ahead of its statutory obligations to purchase and transmit power to customers in the Pacific Northwest, if it is decided that the project will proceed. BPA adopted this statement by October 1994.
