Whistling Ridge Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) has been asked by SDS Lumber Company to interconnect its proposed Whistling Ridge Energy Project in Skamania County, Washington, to the Federal Columbia River Transmission System. The proposed 70-MW wind project would interconnect to BPA's existing North Bonneville-Midway 230-kV transmission line approximately five miles West of BPA's Underwood Substation. BPA will prepare a joint environmental impact statement (EIS) with the State of Washington Energy Facility Site Evaluation Council (EFSEC) to determine potential impacts of the proposed project and interconnection. SDS Lumber created the Whistling Ridge Energy LLC to independently build, own and operate the proposed wind project. Schedule: BPA and Washington EFSEC will hold a joint public scoping meeting on May 6 to receive comments on the scope of the EIS for the proposed project. This scoping process may help identify other issues and alternatives suitable for consideration in the draft EIS. Both BPA and Washington EFSEC are accepting comments through May 18 on the proposed interconnection. More information about the proposed project and interconnection.
