ACTION: Notice of availability of record
of decision (ROD).
SUMMARY: The Bonneville Power
Administration (BPA) has decided to
offer Sagebrush Power Partners, LLC, a
Large Generator Interconnection
Agreement for interconnection of up to
108 megawatts of power into the Federal
Columbia River Transmission System.
The power would be generated from
their proposed Kittitas Valley Wind
Project (Wind Project) in Kittitas
County, Washington. To interconnect
the Wind Project, BPA will construct a
new substation (Bettas Road Substation)
on the Columbia-Covington 230-kilovolt
transmission line about 11 miles
northeast of Ellensburg, Washington.
This decision to interconnect the Wind
Project is consistent with and tiered to
BPA’s Business Plan Environmental
Impact Statement (DOE/EIS–0183, June
1995), and the Business Plan Record of
Decision (BP ROD, August 1995).
ADDRESSES: Copies of this tiered ROD
and the Business Plan EIS may be
obtained by calling BPA’s toll-free
document request line, 1–800–622–
4520. The RODs and EIS are also
available on our Web site, https://
www.efw.bpa.gov.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Richard Yarde, Bonneville Power
Administration—KEC–4, P.O. Box 3621,
Portland, Oregon 97208–3621; toll-free
telephone number 1–800–622–4519; fax
number 503–230–5699; or e-mail
rryarde@bpa.gov.
An environmental assessment (EA) has
been prepared as part of staff’s review
of the proposal. The proposed nonproject use is located on Lewis Smith
Lake in Winston County, Alabama.
In the application, Alabama Power
requests Commission authorization to
permit Silverock Cove, LLC to install 11
cluster docks (with a total of 74 boat
slips), a walking trail, and a community
boat launch within the project
boundary. These structures would serve
the residents of Silverock Cove, a
planned community that is located
adjacent to project lands. The EA
contains Commission staff’s analysis of
the probable environmental impacts of
the proposal and concludes that
approval of the proposal, as modified by
the staff, would not constitute a major
federal action significantly affecting the
quality of the human environment.
The EA is attached to a Commission
order titled ‘‘Order Modifying and
Approving Non-Project Use of Project
Lands and Waters,’’ which was issued
September 8, 2009, and is available for
review and reproduction at the
Commission’s Public Reference Room,
located at 888 First Street, NE., Room
2A, Washington, DC 20426. The EA may
also be viewed on the Commission’s
Web site at https://www.ferc.gov using
