Mtg1 1 Need What is driving the need for this project? Mtg1 1 Need How does the Port of Umatilla and the Umatilla Tribes proposed generation plant near McNary impact this project? Mtg1 1 Need What is driving the need for this project? Generation facilities? Where? Mtg1 1 Need We have to put up with this for California not taking care of their problems. Mtg1 1 Need Where is electricity going to go? Mtg2 1 Need With the wind and other energy plants going in, there is a need for transmission. Mtg2 1 Need How long will the new lines be good for until their capacity is maxed out? Mtg2 1 Need What about the lines beyond John Day? Will they also need new lines for extra capacity, or is it just the John Day-McNary section? Mtg2 1 Need If 2000 MW come on line in the next three years, will you need to build another line then? Mtg2 1 Need What about all the proposed wind power? How will that affect this project? Mtg2 1 Need Is the new proposed line already going to be maxed out for capacity? Mtg2 1 Need With all the interest in wind power generation, at what point would they tie into a line like what you have proposed? Mtg2 1 Need Are they studying the Mercer Ranch project, integrating it into this project? Mtg2 1 Need What additional generation will be carried on the new line? Mtg2 1 Need What about all the proposed wind power? Will it get funneled into these new lines? Mtg2 1 Need Are the existing lines operating at capacity right now, around 230-kV and 345-kV? 07/30/01 slmason 1 Need What about the (megawatt capacity of the) existing lines? 2
Mtg2 1 Need Would other projects such as wind projects tie into this line? Mtg2 1 Need Is this put in for existing power or potential new power? Mtg2 1 Need We all need power. Mtg2 1 Need How will new line affect Cogentrix proposal to connect into 500 line? Mtg2 1 Need Will building the 500 line lessen flow on the 230-kV and 345-kV lines, making it available for new generation? Mtg2 1 Need We have gas and wind project in this area, so we support this line. Mtg2 1 Need Is this area a serious bottleneck? Letter 1 Need The Tribes understand that the currently proposed scope of the McNary-John Day Project EIS is limited to a transmission line that will be capable of transmitting only 1400-2300 MW of new generation. Given the existing generation shortfall in the Region, and the likelihood that a substantial amount of new generation will be located near the McNary Substation, the Tribes urge BPA to expand the scope of the McNary-John Day Project EIS to ensure that the proposed new transmission line is capable of transmitting an amount of power for which it is reasonably foreseeable that the McNary-John Day Project will serve. Letter 1 Need Specifically, the Tribes urge BPA to scope the McNary-John Day Project EIS in a manner sufficient to transmit 5000 or more megawatts (MW) of new power generation from the area. This is the amount of new generation currently under development near McNary Substation for which a substantial likelihood exists that the McNary-John Day projects will need to transmit in the near future. Letter 1 Need The Tribes understand that BPA is currently undertaking an analysis of upgrades to the entire BPA transmission system that will be required to meet the long term needs of the Region. Letter 1 Need In addition, the BPA is conducting a cumulative quality impact assessment under NEPA for all new generation projects in the area. The Tribes believe BPA should adopt a similar cumulative approach to scoping the size of the new McNary-John Day Project, rather than simply sizing the line to meet only the proposed generation projects which have completed full scale system impact and interconnection studies. Given the costs and time associated with conducting an EIS, it is inefficient to study only limited and immediate needs rather than immediately foreseeable future needs. 07/30/01 slmason 3
