BPA proposes to allow Okanogan County Electric Cooperative (the "Co-op") to trench and install a fiber optic cable at BPA's Winthrop Substation in Winthrop, Okanogan County, Washington. The Co-op proposes to excavate a trench from the edge of Chewuch Road West and enter the BPA fee-owned Winthrop Substation parcel, trenching and installing a fiber optic communication cable through the graveled driveway to the fence of the Co-op's substation which is adjacent to the BPA substation fence.
