Title:	Big Eddy-Knight Transmission Project Draft Environmental Impact Statement
Description:	<P>BPA has completed the draft environmental impact statement (EIS) for its proposed Big Eddy-Knight 500-kilovolt high-voltage transmission line from our existing substation in The Dalles, OR, to a proposed new Knight Substation about four miles northwest of Goldendale, WA.
