Bonneville Power Administration
Big Eddy-Knight Transmission Project
Bonneville Power
Administration (BPA), Department of
Energy (DOE).
ACTION: Notice of Availability of Record
of Decision (ROD).
AGENCY:
This notice announces the
availability of the ROD to implement the
Big Eddy-Knight Transmission Project
in Wasco County, Oregon and Klickitat
County, Washington. Construction of
the Big Eddy-Knight Transmission
Project will accommodate long-term
firm transmission requests that BPA has
received by increasing BPA’s 500-kV
transmission capability to move power
from the east side of the Cascade
Mountains (along the Oregon/
Washington border) to load centers
(such as Portland, Oregon) on the west
side of the Cascades and to major
transmission lines serving California.
As described in the Big Eddy-Knight
Transmission Project Final
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)
(DOE/EIS–0421, July 2011), this project
consists primarily of constructing a
new, approximately 28-mile-long, 500kilovolt (kV) transmission line and
ancillary facilities between BPA’s
existing Big Eddy Substation in The
Dalles, Oregon, to a proposed new
Knight Substation that would be
connected to an existing BPA line about
4 miles northwest of Goldendale,
Washington. For the transmission line,
BPA has decided to build East
Alternative Option 3. For the first 14
miles, the line will use double-circuit
towers (combining the new line and an
existing line on one set of towers)
mostly on existing right-of-way. The
remaining 14 miles of the new line will
be built with single-circuit towers in a
newly-established 150-foot wide
transmission line right-of-way. BPA has
also decided to build the small (about 1
mile) realignment of the East Alternative
on the Oregon side of the Columbia
River, as described in the final EIS. For
the proposed new Knight Substation,
BPA has decided to build Knight
jlentini on DSK4TPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

Substation on Site 1, which is on private
property about 0.5 mile west of Knight
Road. For the fiber optic cable necessary
for system communications, BPA has
decided to build the Loop Back Option,
which will string fiber optic cable on
the new transmission towers from BPA’s
Big Eddy Substation to the new Knight
Substation and back again. The project
also includes new equipment at BPA’s
existing Big Eddy and Wautoma
substations. BPA will install about 134
new lattice-steel transmission towers
that will have an average span length
between towers of about 1,200 feet. The
double-circuit towers that will be used
for the first 14 miles will range in height
from about 170–250 feet tall; the singlecircuit towers that will be used for the
last 14 miles will be about 108–200 feet
tall. The towers on either side of the
Columbia River will be about 407 feet
tall on the Oregon side and 232 feet tall
on the Washington side.
The conductor, fiber optic cable, and
overhead ground wire for the new
transmission line will be placed on
these towers, and counterpoise (which
takes any lightning charge from the
overhead ground wire and dissipates it
into the earth) will be buried in the
ground at select towers. Marker balls
will be placed on the overhead ground
wire across the Columbia River and bird
diverters will be installed on overhead
ground wire at select locations. The
towers on either side of the Columbia
River will have lighting for aircraft
safety. Road construction will include
about 16 miles of new road, 9 miles of
temporary road, 13 miles of existing
road improvements, and 62 culverts in
intermittent streams (many stream
crossings will have more than 1 culvert).
In addition, portions of county roads
that will be used to access the line route
will be improved as necessary.
All mitigation measures identified in
the EIS that are applicable to the
selected alternative are adopted.

(Samsung) from energy efficiency test
procedure requirements that are
applicable to residential refrigerators
and refrigerator-freezers. In today’s
action, DOE is extending the interim
waiver for 180 days.

interim waiver may be extended by DOE
for 180 days. Notice of such extension
and/or any modification of the terms or
duration of the interim waiver shall be
published in the Federal Register and
shall be based on relevant information
contained in the record and any
comments received subsequent to
issuance of the interim waiver.
On August 17, 2011, Samsung
requested an extension of its interim
waiver. DOE recently published a notice
reopening the comment period on its
interim final rule for the refrigerator test
procedure. 76 FR 57612 (Sept. 15, 2011).
DOE intends to consider the comments
received in response to this notice
before publishing a decision and order
concerning Samsung’s petition for
waiver from the energy efficiency test
procedure requirements for residential
refrigerators and refrigerator-freezers in
10 CFR part 430, which are applicable
to Samsung’s electric refrigerators and
refrigerator-freezers that incorporate
multiple defrost cycles. Therefore, DOE
has determined that it is appropriate to
grant an extension of the interim waiver
to Samsung for an additional 180 days,
or until March 12, 2012, or until the
determination on the petition for
waiver, whichever occurs first.
