DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Western Area Power Administration
[DOE/EIS–0461]
Intent To Prepare an Environmental
Impact Statement and To Conduct
Scoping Meetings: Interconnection of
the Proposed Hyde County Wind
Energy Center Project, South Dakota
Western Area Power
Administration, DOE.
ACTION: Notice of Intent to Prepare an
Environmental Impact Statement and to
Conduct Scoping Meetings; Notice of
Floodplain and Wetlands Involvement.
AGENCY:
NextEra Energy Resources
(NextEra) applied to interconnect its
proposed 150-megawatt (MW) Hyde
County Wind Energy Center Project
(Project), located in Hyde County, South
Dakota, with the Western Area Power
Administration’s (Western) existing Fort
Thompson Substation in Buffalo
County, South Dakota. Western will
prepare an environmental impact
statement (EIS) on the proposal to
interconnect the Project in accordance
with the National Environmental Policy
Act of 1969 (NEPA), U.S. Department of
Energy (DOE) NEPA Implementing
Procedures, and the Council on
Environmental Quality (CEQ)
regulations for implementing NEPA.
Western’s need for agency action is
precipitated by NextEra’s application to
interconnect with Western’s power
transmission system. Western needs to
consider NextEra’s interconnection
request under its Open Access
Transmission Service Tariff (Tariff).
This EIS will address Western’s Federal
jdjones on DSK8KYBLC1PROD with NOTICES
SUMMARY:
VerDate Mar<15>2010

action of interconnecting the proposed
Project to Western’s transmission
system, making changes within
Western’s existing Fort Thompson
Substation to physically connect
NextEra’s proposed Project, and making
any necessary system modifications to
accommodate the interconnection.
Existing transmission line approaches to
Fort Thompson Substation may also
need to be realigned. By taking these
actions, power generated by NextEra’s
proposed Project would use Western’s
transmission system to reach the
market.
Portions of NextEra’s proposed Project
may affect floodplains and wetlands, so
this Notice of Intent (NOI) also serves as
a notice of proposed floodplain or
wetland action in accordance with DOE
floodplain and wetland environmental
review requirements.
DATES: A public scoping meeting will be
held on December 14, 2011, from 5 p.m.
to 8 p.m. in Highmore, South Dakota.
The public scoping period starts with
the publication of this notice and ends
on January 14, 2011. Western will
consider all comments on the scope of
the EIS received or postmarked by that
date. The public is invited to submit
comments on the proposed Project at
any time during the EIS process.
ADDRESSES: Western will host public
scoping meetings at the Hyde County
Senior Center, 103 Iowa Avenue South,
Highmore, South Dakota, to provide
information on the Project and gather
comments on the proposal. Oral or
written comments may be provided at
the public scoping meetings or mailed
or e-mailed to Matt Marsh, Upper Great
Plains Regional Office, Western Area
Power Administration, P.O. Box 35800,
Billings, MT 59107–5800, e-mail
MMarsh@wapa.gov, telephone (800)
358–3415.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For
additional information on the proposed
Project, the EIS process, or to receive a
copy of the Draft EIS when it is
published, contact Matt Marsh at the
addresses above. For general
information on the DOE’s NEPA review
process, contact Carol M. Borgstrom,
Director, Office of NEPA Policy and
Compliance, GC–54, U.S. Department of
Energy, 1000 Independence Avenue
SW., Washington, DC 20585–0119,
telephone (202) 586–4600 or (800) 472–
2756, facsimile (202) 586–7031.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Western is
a Federal power marketing agency
within the DOE that markets and
delivers Federal wholesale electric
power (principally hydroelectric power)
to municipalities, rural electric
cooperatives, public utilities, irrigation

districts, Federal and State agencies,
and Native American tribes in 15
western and central States. NextEra’s
proposed Project would be located
within Western’s Upper Great Plains
Region, which operates in North and
South Dakota, most of Montana, and
portions of Iowa, Minnesota, and
Nebraska. NextEra applied to
interconnect their proposed 150-MW
Project with Western’s existing Fort
Thompson Substation in Buffalo
County, South Dakota. The proposed
wind farm Project would be located
entirely on private lands; no State- or
Federal-managed land would be
affected. The transmission line
connecting the proposed wind farm to
Fort Thompson Substation would,
however, cross lands of the Crow Creek
Indian Reservation. There are no
designated cooperating agencies at this
time, but cooperating agencies could be
identified at a later date.
Western will prepare an EIS on the
interconnection of the proposed Project
in accordance with NEPA (42 U.S.C.
4321–4347); DOE NEPA Implementing
Procedures (10 CFR part 1021), and the
CEQ regulations for implementing
NEPA (40 CFR parts 1500–1508).1
Purpose and Need for Agency Action
Western’s need for agency action is
precipitated by NextEra’s application to
interconnect with Western’s power
transmission system. Western needs to
consider NextEra’s interconnection
request under Western’s Tariff, which
provides for open access to its
transmission system through an
interconnection if there is available
capacity in the transmission system.
This EIS will address Western’s Federal
action of interconnecting NextEra’s
proposed Project with Fort Thompson
Substation, making changes within the
substation to physically accomplish the
interconnection, and making any
necessary system modifications to
accommodate the interconnection.
Preliminary studies indicate that the
power system can accommodate the
proposed interconnection without
negatively affecting system reliability or
power deliveries to existing customers.
The transmission system may require
network and/or transmission system
upgrades as determined in the final
studies. Any such upgrades would be
funded by NextEra as a condition of the
interconnection.
1 On October 4, 1999, DOE’s Assistant Secretary
for Environmental, Safety and Health delegated to
Western’s Administrator the authority to approve
EISs for integrating transmission facilities with
Western’s transmission grid.
