August 4, 2016Environmental checklist (EC) INL-13-017 (OA 5) analyzed the environmental impacts of placing a temporary Intermediate Measurement Location (IML) to support power line testing. Initially, only foot traffic was allowed in this area. The purpose of this EC is to address access controls at the IML. Unrestricted vehicle access is needed at the IML. The proposed action would allow unrestricted vehicle access to the area between the red lines in Figure 1. In addition, the IML is no longer a temporary location and will be used indefinitely for project access.
