The ROW grant would also incorporate or incorporate by reference standard BLM grant <br />conditions found at 43 CFR Part 2805.12. <br />1.8.2 Cooperating Agencies <br />1.8.2.1 U.S. Army Yakima Training Center <br />The JBLM YTC will decide whether to grant, grant with conditions, or deny Pacific Power’s application <br />to construct, operate, and maintain the proposed Project on Army controlled real property that is made <br />available for non-Army purposes. <br />1.8.2.2 Bonneville Power Administration <br />BPA will decide whether to allow the interconnection of the proposed Project to BPA’s Vantage <br />Substation and the FCRTS. <br />1.8.2.3 Bureau of Reclamation <br />Reclamation will decide whether to grant, grant with conditions, or deny Pacific Power’s application to <br />construct, operate and maintain the proposed Project on lands managed by Reclamation. If Reclamation <br />issues a grant, pursuant to 43 CFR Part 429, it will include standard terms and conditions and may include <br />additional terms, conditions, and stipulations. <br />1.8.2.4 Federal Highway Administration <br />FHWA will decide whether to approve, approve with conditions, or deny Pacific Power’s application to <br />construct, operate, and maintain the proposed Project on interstate lands owned by WSDOT. FHWA may <br />approve non-highway uses of interstate property that do not impact safety and operations on the interstate <br />as long as the proposed use shall not expose the facility’s users (e.g., highway users) to other hazards (23 <br />CFR Part 710 Subpart D). <br />1.8.2.5 Washington State Department of Transportation <br />Prior to construction, WSDOT would be responsible for: reviewing, processing, and executing Pacific <br />Power’s utility permit and/or franchise application(s) to cross I-82 and SR-243; issuing an access permit; <br />and granting an easement or lease to cross WSDOT’s property. After permitting but prior to construction, <br />Pacific Power will need to coordinate with WSDOT to determine any necessary traffic control measures; <br />landscaping for disturbed areas within WSDOT’s property; and hydraulics-related issues. <br />1.8.2.6 Washington State Department of Archeology and Historic Preservation <br />DAHP will decide whether to issue Archeological Excavation and Removal Permits prior to construction <br />pursuant to RCW 27.44 and RCW 27.53 and WAC 25-48 on state or private lands. <br />1.8.2.7 Washington State Department of Natural Resources <br />DNR will decide whether to approve, approve with conditions, or deny Pacific Power’s easements and <br />access permit applications for crossing DNR-managed uplands and use authorization applications for <br />crossing state-owned aquatic lands. <br />1.8.2.8 Grant County <br />As previously stated, the Grant County Building Code does not exempt private regulated utilities, like <br />Pacific Power, from a requirement to obtain a building permit from the county. The building permit is <br />considered a “Project Permit” and as such SEPA review is required (D. Hooper, Personal <br />Communication, July 2011). The building permit is an administrative permit; no Planning and Zoning or <br />Board of County Commissioners approval is required. The proposed Project is also subject to Shoreline <br />Substantial Development Permit and Shoreline CUP pursuant to Grant County SMP. The structures for <br />this transmission line may also be subject to local building permit requirements.
