Update
People have been asking for news about the Pacificorps project. The following is what John Aniello, the project manager, wrote in an email last week. This will no doubt spark questions and discussion. Please know that admins for this group have no more information AND, that is is NOT an official statement from Pacificorp.
"The project is on hold through the end of this year. I won't know what the plan is for next year for several months. At this point I do have a plan to get the 115kV line routing effort going next year but beyond that there is not much else I can tell you. Sorry.”
Our Purpose
The PacifiCorp Proposal
PacifiCorp has proposed a 230 kV H-tower high voltage transmission line running from Swift Dam near Woodland, WA, south through several areas, including Yacolt, East Battle Ground, Hockinson, East Vancouver, Brush Prairie, Green Mountain, Green Meadows, West Lacamas Lake, Camas, and Prune Hill. It will then extend to the Columbia River and cross over to Troutdale. This poses significant dangers and is unjustified. Potential fire hazards, health risks, and PacifiCorp's disregard for essential safety guidelines associated with this line cannot be ignored.
Issues Surrounding the Transmission Line
• Initial Easements are from 1950s
• Inaccurate Easements
• Additional Land-Use Rights
• Vegetation Management
• Health Risks
