Notice of Intent To Prepare a
Supplemental Environmental Impact
Statement and Possible Land Use Plan
Amendments for Segments 8 and 9 of
the Gateway West 500-kV
Transmission Line Project in Idaho
Bureau of Land Management,
Interior.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:

The Bureau of Land
Management (BLM) Idaho State Office
announces its intention to prepare a
supplemental environmental impact
statement (EIS) analyzing the potential
impacts of approving a right-of-way
(ROW) application for Segments 8 and
9 of the Gateway West 500-kilovolt (kV)
Transmission Line Project and possible
land use plan amendments. The
supplemental EIS will be prepared in
accordance with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as
amended (NEPA). The supplemental EIS
is being prepared based on new
information described in the
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section of
this notice. The BLM issued a Record of
Decision (ROD) for the project on
November 14, 2013. In that ROD, the
BLM deferred offering a ROW grant for
two of the 10 segments—Segments 8
and 9—to allow additional time for
Federal, State, and local permitting
agencies to examine additional options
regarding siting route segments and
mitigation and enhancement measures
for those segments.
DATES: This notice initiates a 30-day
public scoping period that will assist in
the preparation of a draft supplemental
EIS. Comments may be submitted in

writing until October 20, 2014, or 15

scoping meeting, whichever is later.
To provide the public an opportunity
to review the proposal and project
information, the BLM expects to hold
four public meetings in Idaho
communities during the scoping period.
The BLM will announce the exact dates,
times, and locations for these meetings
at least 15 days prior to each event.
Announcements will be made by news
release to the media, newsletter
mailings, and posting on the project
Web site listed below.

PacifiCorp, dba Rocky Mountain
Power, and Idaho Power (Applicants)
have submitted a ROW application to
locate 500-kilovolt (kV) electric
transmission lines on Federal lands as
part of the Gateway West Transmission
Line Project. The initial application
proposed to construct electric
transmission lines from the Windstar
Substation near the Dave Johnston
Power Plant at Glenrock, Wyoming, to

the Hemingway Substation near Melba,
Idaho, approximately 20 miles
southwest of Boise, Idaho. The original
project comprised 10 transmission line
segments with a total length of
approximately 1,000 miles. The
November 2013 ROD authorized routes
on Federal lands for Segments 1 through
7 and Segment 10 but deferred a
decision for Segments 8 and 9. The
Applicants submitted a revised project
application for Segments 8 and 9. This
notice announces that the BLM, Idaho
State Office, intends to prepare a
supplemental EIS for Segments 8 and 9
of the Gateway West Transmission Line
Project and begins the scoping process
to seek public input on new issues and
resource information related to
Segments 8 and 9, described below.
Analysis in the supplemental EIS will
support a decision on whether to
approve, approve with modifications, or
deny the revised ROW application for
Segments 8 and 9.
In November 2013, the BLM requested
the Boise District Resource Advisory
Council (RAC) to consider issues
surrounding siting Segments 8 and 9 of
the Gateway West Transmission Line
Project. As proposed, these segments
would traverse portions of the BLM
Boise District in and around the Morley
Nelson Snake River Birds of Prey
National Conservation Area (NCA), as
well as on private lands. The RAC, a
citizen-based council chartered under
Section 309 of the Federal Land Policy
and Management Act (FLPMA) and the
Federal Advisory Committee Act,
advises and makes recommendations to
the BLM on resource and public land
management issues in southwestern
Idaho. The RAC formed a subcommittee
to examine options for resolving
remaining issues associated with siting
Segments 8 and 9. On June 5, 2014, the
RAC provided the BLM with the report
on alternative route options and
resource considerations for Segments 8
and 9. On August 8, 2014, the
Applicants formally adopted routes
recommended by a majority of the
subcommittee as their proposed routes
for the supplemental EIS in a revised
project application that modifies the
Applicants’ original proposal. These
updated proposed routes, a doublecircuit design feature (see below), and
additional mitigation measures are
major components of the new
information now available for public
scoping.
The Applicants’ proposed route for
each of the two segments has been
modified from the 2013 BLM Preferred
Route west of approximate midway
points, identified as ‘‘nodes’’ in reports
submitted by the RAC. Maps that
