Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) is proposing to install a new 50-foot radio tower within the existing Birch Creek Radio Station property in order to communicate with Utah Associated Municipal Power System?s (UAMPS) new 100-megawatt Horse Butte Wind Power Generating Facility. BPA would also install telemetry and communication equipment within UAMPS?s Horse Butte control house. Electrical generation produced from the Horse Butte Wind project would interconnect into BPA?s transmission system via a tap between towers 31/6 and 31/7 of BPA?s Palisades-Goshen 115-kilovolt transmission line.
