Notice is hereby given that
the USDA Forest Service (USFS), Lake
Tahoe Basin Management Unit
(LTBMU), together with the Tahoe
Regional Planning Agency (TRPA), and
the California Public Utilities
Commission (CPUC) will prepare a joint
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS),
EIS, and Environmental Impact Report
(EIR) (EIS/EIS/EIR; the nature of this
type of document is described further
below) to disclose the impacts
associated with the following proposed
action: California Pacific Electric
Company (Calpeco) is proposing to
upgrade their existing 625 and 650 60
kV transmission lines to 120 kV in order
to maintain a safe and reliable electrical
transmission system for the north Lake
Tahoe area, while accommodating
currently-expected normal growth in the
area. The 650 line upgrade would
involve rebuilding an approximately 10mile section of transmission line from
Truckee substation to the Kings Beach
Diesel Generation Station. The majority
of this line would be replaced within its
current alignment. The 625 line upgrade
would include approximately 15 miles
of line from the Kings Beach Switching
Station to the Tahoe City Substation. A
significant portion of the existing 625
Line would be realigned to a location
that parallels Mount Watson Road (also
called Fiberboard Highway), an existing
National Forest System road. The USFS
LTBMU is the lead federal agency for
the preparation of this EIS in
compliance with National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and
all other applicable laws, executive
orders, regulations, and direction; the
TRPA is the lead agency for preparation
of an EIS in compliance with TRPA’s
Compact and Code of Ordinances and
all other applicable laws and
regulations; and the CPUC is the lead
State of California agency for
preparation of an EIR in compliance
PO 00000

Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
with the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA) and all other
applicable laws and regulations (hence
the document’s designation as an EIS/
EIS/EIR). All three agencies have
determined that an EIS/EIS/EIR is
needed in order to effectively analyze
the proposal and evaluate impacts. In
addition, the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers (USACE), as a federal
cooperating agency, will be responsible
for the scope and content of the NEPA
portion of the environmental document
as it pertains to lands within the
jurisdictional boundaries of the agency
for the project. The USFS, Tahoe
National Forest will be responsible for
the scope and content of the NEPA
portion of the environmental document
as it pertains to lands within the
jurisdictional boundaries of that agency
(outside of the LTBMU).
The project is scheduled to be
completed in three phases, with initial
construction beginning as early as 2013
and the final phase planned for
completion in 2019.
DATES: Comments concerning the scope
of the analysis must be received by May
10, 2012. The draft EIS/EIS/EIR is
expected in January 2013 and the final
EIS/EIS/EIR is expected in July 2013.
