Leaning Juniper II Wind Project, 18214 [E9-9094]

Download as PDF 18214 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 75 / Tuesday, April 21, 2009 / Notices The no-action alternative is for BPA to deny WRE’s request that BPA offer contract terms for this interconnection. The scoping process may help identify other alternatives suitable for consideration in the EIS. Process to Date: WRE has filed an application for a site certificate to construct the Project. Surveys for sensitive plant and wildlife species and cultural resources were initiated in the spring of 2001 and have been ongoing. Scoping will help identify what additional studies will be needed for the Project and the interconnection. Public Participation and Identification of Environmental Issues: The potential issues of concern identified for most wind projects include visual issues, noise levels, impacts to cultural resources, socioeconomic ramifications, effects on rare plant and animal species, and impacts to wildlife, including migratory birds and bats. The joint EIS will assess these potential impacts for the proposed Project, as well as potential environmental impacts from the proposed interconnection. Other issues, identified during scoping, will also be addressed in the EIS. When completed, a Draft EIS will be circulated for review and comment, and BPA and EFSEC will hold at least one combined public comment meeting for the Draft EIS. BPA and EFSEC will consider and respond in the Final EIS to comments received on the Draft EIS. BPA’s subsequent decision will be documented in a Record of Decision. Issued in Portland, Oregon, on April 13, 2009. Stephen J. Wright, Administrator and Chief Executive Officer. [FR Doc.
