Vantage to Pomona Heights Chapter 3 <br />230 kV Transmission Line Project FEIS Affected Environment <br /> PAGE 3-183 <br />segment would cross SR-243 north of Beverly as well as cross some dirt farmland access roads. <br />Temporary and permanent access and permission to span SR-243 would be determined by WSDOT. <br />Authorization to span the Columbia River for Route Segment 3b would be required from the USACE <br />through the Section 10 Rivers and Harbors Act permitting process. Permission to span SR-243 for Route <br />Segment 3b or 3c would be determined by WSDOT. <br />3.7.4.10 Route Segment 3c <br />Route Segment 3c is located in the eastern part of the Project study area generally in a north-south <br />orientation. The Route crosses the Columbia River and SR-243, and then runs mainly along Road N SW, <br />Reclamation access roads and Road O SW. As the Route crosses Road 24 SW, it starts to turn in a <br />northwest direction away from County roads and onto BLM lands. The BLM lands and access roads on <br />Saddle Mountain where this route segment would be located can be accessed from Road R SW. This <br />route crosses Limited use and Open use areas of the Saddle Mountains MA. Placing the transmission line <br />within the ROW of Road 24 SW, Road N SW and Road O SW as well as crossing Road 24 SW and <br />Lower Crab Creek Road would require approval by Grant County. <br />Authorization to span the Columbia River for Route Segment 3c would be required from the USACE <br />through the Section 10 Rivers and Harbors Act permitting process. Temporary and permanent access and <br />permission to span SR-243 would be determined by WSDOT. <br />3.7.4.11 Route Segment NNR-2 <br />This route segment parallels the perimeter fire break road on JBLM YTC north of Sage Trail Road. This <br />route parallels Temple Lane, Shotgun Lane and Firing Center Road, but is located within JBLM YTC <br />along the perimeter fire break. Along Firing Center Road, the Route Segment would be located within the <br />electrical distribution easement on the south side of the road. The Route Segment follows Evergreen State <br />Street within JBLM YTC in a north-south direction for approximately 1,200 feet. <br />3.7.4.12 Route Segment NNR-3 <br />This route segment begins south of I-82, and crosses the interstate south of Selah Creek eastbound Rest <br />Area. BLM roads accessing the Selah Butte area and existing access roads to the Pomona-Wanapum <br />transmission line are paralleled. Burbank Creek Road, a private road, is crossed twice. Permission to span <br />I-82 would be determined by WSDOT and FHWA. The rest area is not available for staging of equipment <br />or use for the proposed Project. All staging must be outside WSDOT ROW at this location. <br />3.7.4.13 Route Segment NNR-4 <br />This route segment crosses I-82 south of Exit 11 (Military Road) and existing access roads to the <br />Pomona-Wanapum transmission line are paralleled on private land and within JBLM YTC. A secondary <br />access road servicing the north part of JBLM YTC from I-82 Exit 11 is crossed by this Route Segment. <br />Permission to span I-82 would be determined by WSDOT and FHWA. See access break requirements that <br />would be necessary for crossing I-82 as described in Section 3.7.3.1. Materials staging at Exit 11 would <br />not occur. <br />3.7.4.14 Route Segment NNR-5 <br />This short route segment generally parallels the perimeter JBLM YTC fire break access road. <br />3.7.4.15 Route Segment NNR-6 <br />This route segment parallels the existing Pomona-Wanapum transmission line and access roads through <br />the north end of JBLM YTC.
