Title:	Central Ferry-Lower Monumental draft environmental impact statement
Description:	<FONT size=1> <P>BPA is proposing to construct a 500-kilovolt (kV) transmission line in Garfield, Columbia, and Walla Walla counties, Washington. The project is needed to increase the electrical capacity of the transmission system in southeast Washington in response to requests that BPA has received for use of its system.</P> <P>The proposed line would extend west from a new BPA 500-kV substation, called Central Ferry Substation, in Garfield County, to BPA’s existing 500-kV Lower Monumental Substation in Walla Walla County. BPA is considering four routing alternatives and a no-action alternative for the proposed project. Portions of these routes parallel existing BPA lines in the area, and cross both private and state lands. The length of the routing alternatives ranges from about 38 to 40 miles. </P></FONT>
