Condit Dam Hydroelectric Project Final Supplemental EIS 4.11.4 Significant Unavoidable Adverse Impacts If the mitigation measures described above are implemented, no significant unavoidable impacts are expected. 4.11-3
Condit Dam Hydroelectric Project Final Supplemental EIS 4.12 PUBLIC SERVICES This section evaluates public services that could be affected as a result of the proposed action. Public services include police, fire and related emergency services. In addition, two entities operate water supply or intake facilities underneath or from Northwestern Lake (reservoir). Other discussions related to public services are included in Section 4.2, Water Resources. 4.12.1 Affected Environment The proposed action extends over an area that includes the reservoir from Northwestern Lake Bridge to the Condit Dam and along the White Salmon River from the dam to the Underwood (in-lieu) site adjacent to the Columbia River. Police services to the local area are provided by the Klickitat County and Skamania County sheriffs’ departments. Police service along the State highways is provided by the Washington State Patrol, with offices in Vancouver and Goldendale. Fire protection services to the area are provided by Fire District No. 3 (Klickitat County portion) and the Underwood Fire Department (Skamania County portion). A mutual aid agreement is in effect between the County departments and the City of White Salmon. Response times vary from a few minutes for the Klickitat County Sheriff (from the West End Services Building in White Salmon) and the Skamania County Sheriff (Stevenson) to several minutes for the respective fire departments, depending on location and access. Emergency response services are provided to the area from the cities of Stevenson (ambulance) and White Salmon (Skyline Hospital). The other closest hospital is in Hood River, Oregon. Response times vary from a few to several minutes, depending on location and access. A 14-inch steel water supply line (PacifiCorp 2004) owned by the City of White Salmon crosses the reservoir midway between the dam and the Northwestern Lake Bridge (about 1 mile north of the dam). The pipe, buried in lake sediments, provides service from the White Salmon water system (wells and storage reservoir) to homes and other facilities on the west side of the reservoir in Skamania County. 4.12.2 Impacts Pre-Dam Removal and Dam Breaching and Removal The proposed action would result in impacts to the public service providers. The respective County sheriff and fire departments would need to adjust staff and coordinate with other departments and PacifiCorp to prepare for and respond to the proposed action. The proposed action is planned to occur during the fall of 2008, which may be toward the end of the fire season. If a fire occurs in the vicinity, access to fight the fire could be impaired without some preparation. Likewise, emergency service providers would need to make similar adjustments to those noted above. Response times could be affected without adequate preparation. 4.12-1
