Summary

DOE/EIS-0442, prepared jointly by DOE’s Western Area Power Administration (WAPA) and the U.S. Forest Service, evaluates the potential environmental impacts of proposed changes in WAPA’s vegetation management along approximately 273 miles of its transmission line rights-of-way on National Forest System (NFS) lands in Colorado, Nebraska, and Utah. WAPA also proposes updating or, where a current authorization is not in place, requesting authorizations from the U.S. Forest Service for the operation and maintenance of its transmission lines as they cross NFS lands.
