Modified Competitive Sale of Public Land; Oregon (OR 48830), 20931-20932 [05-8198]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 77 / Friday, April 22, 2005 / Notices wilderness study areas. U.S. Gypsum, a gypsum mine and wallboard facility, and the adjacent town of Empire, are located southeast of the proposed project. GFP’s proposed project consists of the power plant to be located on private lands, with their ancillary facilities to be constructed on both private and public lands. Proposed power plant ancillary facilities include: Water supply, transport, and discharge facilities; waste disposal facilities; electric transmission lines; rail lines; and a temporary construction worker residence area. Three proposed rightsof-way would involve approximately 260 acres of public land. The Federal action comprises potential issuance of these public rights-of-way, which are necessary for the construction and operation of the power plant. Although the proposed power plant would be located on private land, it could not operate without Federal actions for rights-of-way on public lands. The EIS will address potential impacts of the proposal on private and public lands. The proposed rights-ofway on public lands include approximately 7 miles of railroad spur, approximately 2 miles of 500 kilovolt transmission line, and approximately 26 miles of water supply pipelines. It also includes approximately 1 mile of ground electrode lines. A range of alternatives would be developed with input from the scoping process. Dated: January 31, 2005. Vicki L.
