This EA (also known as DOE/EA-4406 or DOE/BP-4406) evaluates the potential environmental impacts from rebuilding the Creston-Bell No. 1 115-kV transmission line, including the replacement of wood poles and associated structural components and conductor and access road improvements. The 54-mile long, wood pole line extends from the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) Creston substation to the BPA Bell substation near Spokane in Lincoln and Spokane Counties, Washington. Additional information about this project is available on the BPA website.

The Draft Environmental Assessment was identified initially as DOE/BP-4406, and the Revision Sheet was identified as DOE/EA-4406.  DOE subsequently renumbered this EA as DOE/EA-1885.
