Vantage to Pomona Heights Chapter 2 230 kV Transmission Line Project FEIS Proposed Action and Alternatives PAGE 2-57 AQ-7: Pacific Power will submit the Project Description and Dust Control Plan, as part of the POD, to the Yakima Regional Clean Air Agency and Washington State Department of Ecology for approval prior to construction. Pacific Power will submit a copy of the approved plan to JBLM YTC Public Works- Environmental Compliance for review prior to construction. AQ-8: Pacific Power will prevent wind erosion by reseeding disturbed areas with an appropriate seed mixture as soon as reasonably possible following construction activities. AQ-9: Construction and maintenance vehicles are to travel at 25 mph or less on unpaved roads and at construction sites to minimize dust, and in accordance with posted speed limits. AQ-10: Open burning of construction trash will not be allowed. 2.3.9 Soils, Geology and Water Resources SGW-1: Roads will be built at right angles to streams to the extent practicable. Existing public roads will be utilized to the extent possible. Appropriately sized culverts will be installed where needed. All construction and maintenance activities will be conducted in a manner that would minimize disturbance to vegetation, drainage channels, and stream banks. Where applicable, construction and maintenance will be conducted in accordance with local road construction and maintenance standards. In addition, road construction will include dust-control measures during construction in sensitive areas, as required. SGW-2: Disturbed areas around structures, at pulling and tensioning sites, and on the edges of roadways will be rehabilitated following construction (as specified by the appropriate agencies and authorized officers) and in accordance with the Project’s Noxious Weed and Invasive Plant Management Plan and the Reclamation, Revegetation, and Monitoring Plan. SGW-3: A pre-construction field verification of landslide prone areas will be made. Design changes to roads may be needed based on the field verification. SGW-4: A geotechnical engineering report will be prepared prior to construction that appropriately addresses risks to structures and roads due to geological hazards. SGW-5: Pacific Power’s construction contractor will mark construction limits within agricultural fields or grasslands to minimize disturbance. SGW-6: Pacific Power is responsible to inspect and maintain tanks and equipment containing oil, fuel, or chemicals for drips or leaks and to prevent spills onto the ground or into state waters or Waters of the United States. SGW-7: Pacific Power is responsible to maintain and repair all equipment and vehicles on impervious surfaces away from all sources of surface water. SGW-8: Vehicle and equipment refueling and the storage of potentially hazardous materials will not occur within a 100-foot radius of a waterbody, a 200-foot radius of all identified private water wells, and a 400-foot radius of all identified municipal or community water supply wells. For route segments on JBLM YTC, refueling will not occur within 656 feet of any drainage (wet or dry) and parking or staging of vehicles will be at least 328 feet from drainages. Spill preventative and containment measures or practices will be incorporated as needed, as identified in the Project’s Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure Plan.
