ACTION:
SUMMARY: The Rural Utilities Service, an
agency which administers the U.S.
Department of Agriculture’s Rural
Development Utilities Programs (USDA
Rural Development) proposes to prepare
an Environmental Assessment (EA)
related to possible financial assistance
to East Kentucky Power Cooperative
(EKPC) for the construction of
approximately 19 miles of double
circuit 345/138 kilovolt (kV) electric
transmission line and two 345 kV
electric transmission substations. The
proposed transmission line and
substation projects would be located in
Clark County, Kentucky. EKPC is
requesting USDA Rural Development to
provide financial assistance for the
proposed project.

Written comments on this Notice
must be received on or before June 29,

ADDRESSES: The Environmental
Assessment will be available for public
review at the Agency’s address provided
in this notice, at the Agency’s Web site:
https://www.usda.gov/rus/water/ees/
ea.htm, at EKPC’s headquarters office
located at 4775 Lexington Road,
Winchester, Kentucky 40391; and at the
Clark County Library, 370 South Burns
Avenue, Winchester, KY 40391.
Written comments should be sent to:

Protection Specialist, USDA, Rural
Development, Utilities Programs,
Engineering and Environmental Staff,

Telephone: (202) 720–0468. Ms.
Strength’s e-mail address is
stephanie.strength@wdc.usda.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
proposed project area is located in
northeastern, central, and southeastern
Clark County, Kentucky. The proposed
route for the new electric transmission
line extends westerly on new and
existing electric utility line rights-ofway (ROWs) from a proposed new
substation site located at EKPC’s
existing J.K. Smith Electric Generating
Station, east of the unincorporated
community of Bloomingdale in
southeastern Clark County. Just east of
Muddy Creek Road the proposed route
turns northerly following new and
mostly existing utility line ROWs to a
proposed new substation site located in
northeastern Clark County near the
Bourbon County/Clark County/
Montgomery County Line, and north of
Donaldson Road. The electrical
conductors for the proposed new
transmission line would be supported
by Corten steel, two and three pole
structures with an average height of 100
feet aboveground. The proposed new
line would require a right-of-way (ROW)
width of 150 feet. Construction of a
portion of the new line would involve
rebuilding 16.56 miles of existing 69 kV
transmission line on an existing 100foot wide ROW. The existing line would
be dismantled and replaced by the
proposed new transmission line. An
additional 50 feet in width would be
added to the existing ROW to
accommodate the proposed new line.
