BPA proposes to replace the existing conductor on 68.5 miles of the BEOS 500-kilovolt (kV) transmission line. The line begins at BPA’s Big Eddy Substation in The Dalles, Oregon and continues west to Ostrander Substation near Eagle Creek, Oregon (see enclosed project map). To understand the potential environmental impacts of this proposal, BPA may prepare an environmental assessment (EA). If BPA determines that an EA should be prepared, the EA would describe anticipated impacts to natural and human resources and include mitigation measures that would help avoid or minimize impacts.
