Rocky Reach -Maple Valley No. 1 <br />Structures 48/4 — 50/1 <br />Jamey, <br />Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) has had the opportunity to review DV-24-00001 Ranch on <br />Swauk Creek Notice of Application and its relationship to BPA's transmission line easement this plan <br />impacts. <br />BPA easements are taken with certain restrictions on the underlying land. In order to maintain <br />operation and safety criteria, all activities planned within the BPA easement need to be approved by <br />BPA prior to their occurrence. Activities that block maintenance crews (such as the installation of <br />fences) or safety concerns (such as buildings, driveways, utilities, or small structures) need to be <br />addressed prior to construction in order to avoid later modification, at the landowner's expense. <br />In addition, BPA needs the opportunity to review the location of proposed roads to ascertain <br />whether or not the clearance here allows for safe passage of vehicles (per National Electric Safety <br />Code). This process takes up to 9 months to complete and is typically initiated by a land use <br />application that the developer or landowner submits to BPA. <br />Whether or not this property is subdivided and/or this plat approved, the owner will need to submit <br />a land use application, the associated application fee and acquire a Land Use Agreement from BPA, <br />along with the county's building permit for any portion of the owner's development plans that lie <br />within BPA's easement. <br />If you have any questions regarding this request or need additional information, please feel free to <br />contact BPA Realty Specialist <br />
