EIS-0125: Final Environmental Impact Statement

Bonneville Power Administration Intertie Development and Use

The Bonneville Power Administration developed this EIS to examine the environmental effects of expanding the capacity of the Pacific Northwest/Pacific Southwest Intertie, adoption of a long-term Intertie Access Policy, and enabling firm power marketing between California and the Northwest in order to make possible additional short- and long-term sales of the Federal power surplus. The Western Area Power Administration cooperated in the preparation of this EIS by virtue of its special expertise concerning the Third Alternating Current/California-Oregon Transmission Project.
