AGENCY:
The Western Area Power

intends to prepare an environmental
impact statement (EIS) on the proposed
interconnection of the Grande Prairie

near the city of O’Neill, Nebraska.
Grande Prairie Wind, LLC (Grande

LLC, has applied to Western to
interconnect their proposed wind
energy generation project to Western’s
power transmission system. Western’s
Federal action would be to execute an

system to accommodate the
interconnection at Grande Prairie
Wind’s expense. Western is issuing this
notice to inform the public and
interested parties about Western’s intent
to prepare an EIS, conduct a public
scoping process, and invite the public to
comment on the scope, proposed action,
alternatives, and other issues to be
addressed in the EIS.
Construction activities proposed by
Grande Prairie Wind 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.
The public scoping period begins
with the publication of this notice and
closes on May 16, 2012. To provide the
public an opportunity to review the
proposal and project information,
Western will hold one public meeting in
O’Neill, Nebraska. Western will
announce the date and location of the
public scoping meeting through local
news media, and posting on the Western
Web site at https://www.wapa.gov/ugp/
Environment/default.htm at least 15
days prior to the meeting. While
comments will be accepted at any time
during the EIS process, submission of
comments by the end of the scoping
comment period will ensure full
consideration in the Draft EIS.
ADDRESSES: Written comments on the
scope of the EIS should be addressed to
