Bonneville Power Administration is proposing to approve the City of Centralia’s line and load interconnection request to Bonneville Power Administration's Chehalis-Centralia No. 1 69 kilovolt line, north of Salzer Valley Road. The City of Centralia would add two taps near wood poles 9/10 and 9/11, on which Bonneville Power Administration would install two line sectionalizing switches. To accommodate the new taps, Bonneville Power Administration proposes to relocate wood pole 9/10 approximately 60-feet north, and wood pole 9/11 approximately 30-feet south of the existing locations. Land would be graded for the new structures and three new landings would be installed between, and near, the relocated structures. Approximately 3,745 cubic yards of soil would be cut and filled for this project.
