racilitv Cmunonents
'Phe proposed Facility consists of Ihe following components (see figures in Supplenwnt Atlachment A for detnils):
• A Power Islnnd building consisting of boiler. nd auxiliaries, air emissions control systems, steam turbine generator and auxilinries, fire
protection systems, clectrical syste�us, and control and instmmentntion systeins
• Ronds, parking areas, fences, fuel storage, and londing/unloading nreas
• A 0.65-mile, 69-kilovolt (kV) over6end transmission line within the Facility substatio�� (referred to as n switc6yard) to a new substation that
will be constmeicd by PacifiCorp within the Facility site boundary
• A new 200-foot by 200-foot 69-kV PacifiCorp switchyard near Highway 66. Tlie Pncility's 69-kV ovediead transmission line will terminnte at
this switcl�yard. PacifiCorp will have a 0.1-mile-long, 69-kV overhead tra��smission line Gom its switchyard to the exis�ing 69-kV overhead
iransmission line on the other side of Higliway 66.'Che exact ronting of this line will be done by PacifiCorp.

Nhere impacts to streams and wetlands were unnvoidnble, the Facility layout was redesigned several times to further minimize impncts. �fforis to avoid
or minimize impacls that were incocpo�ated into the initinl desig�i include the following:
• Avoidm�ce of lnrge wetland complex located immedia�cly south of I00 Line Road.
• Locating ovediead transmission lines and support poles, nnderground water li��es, and . ceess roads lo minimize number of stream crossings.
• Using ezisting roads for Facility access �nd mnintennnce to the maximum extent possible.
• Locating nnderground water lines adjacent to existing ronds as mnch ns possible to minimize impacts associated with constmetion and mninte��ance of
access roads.
• Locating new necess roads, insofar as possible on�side of strenms nnd wetlands irhile inco�poratrng minimum rond wtd�hs to the rna.r6num zxtent

Where wetlnnd and stream impac�s fiom the access roads and pipelines were unnvoidable, the Facility was designed to minimize impacts. Efforts to
nvoid mid minimize impacts ttiat were incorporated into ihe initinl design nre snnnnnrized below.
Avotdance and Minimization Before Conslruction
The following protective measnres were or will be implemented before constmction of tUe Facility to avoid and minimire impacts:
• Site faciiities, transmission lines, wnter lines, and roads �vere sited to minimize the number of acres iropacted.
• Existing ronds will be ased to ihe maximum extent possible.
• Road crossing of wetlnnd W I nnd wnter line installation will occur in areas with previous disturbance as a result of agricidhval netivities.
Avoidance and Mlnimiza6on Dur(ng Construction
The following proteclive mensnres will be implemented during constn�ction of ihe Fncility to nvoid nnd miniroize iropacts:
• Preparing and iroplementing an Erosion and Sediment Conirol Plan
• Locating s�nging nreas at least 100 feet from Waters of ihe Stnte/U.S. or in areas previoasly developed for such use.
• Constructing culverl crossings nnd w�ter line installatio�� wlien n/1 cl�annels are dry, to the extent possible.

Wetlands 5 and 6 are isolated, depressional (IIGM), palustrine emergent (Cowardin) wetlands located in ihe road ditcl� on tl�e ��orih side of I00 Line
Rond. No mapped hydric soils occur in these we[lands. I��dications ofliydrology inclade snrface wnter and soils snturated in �6e upper 12 i��ches.
Dominant vegetation is Jtmcus ba/tic¢rs (FACR� and TyNlra latifolia (OBL). The weNand bom�daries were delineated al Ihe edge of ihe ditch nnd the toe
of tt�e slope of ] 00 Mile Road where the vegeta�ion hansilions from predominantly wetlaud vegetation to predominanttyDnctylis glomerntn (FACU).
Funclional atiributes oCthese wetlands likely include a low capacity for mrtrient nnd sediment retention, water storage, ancl delny.
Streams S 1, S4, anet SS are 2- to 6-foot-wide and 1- to 3-foot-deep epliemeral irrigation ditches that Irnverse the survey corridor in predaninanlly
straight lines until �hey leave the survey corridor through cidverts beneath 100 Line Road and into other irziga�ion cnnals, eventunlly flowi��g into the
Klnmath Rivec'I'hese streams have ea�then banks nnd a scoured soil/gravel beds. There was no observed ilow a• granid�rater irithin 8re upper 12
inches in these sireams and the siream beds were padially vegetnted with paslure grasses. According to �he local land mnnnger, ilow in �he channel o�ily
occurs during spring following hcavy precipitation and during active irzigntion periods.
Strearos S2 and 53 are approximatcly 20-foot-wide earthen, perennial, irrigntion canais that Iraverse ihe survey corzidor in predominantty strnight lines
until Ihey leave Ihe snrvey corridor tt�ough a culvert bencath ] 00 Line Road. These canals were Flowing nt ordinary high water during field
invesligalions. Tlie ennals evenhially flow in�o �he Klmm�th Rivec Stream S3 is ndjacent to wetland N4.
hiformation on fish distribn�ion was obtained from the StreamNet Pacific t�V internctive Mapper �Veti site (StreamNel, 2010). None of the stream
reaches witl�in the site boundary nre docamienled as yrovidi�ig spnwning, renring, or migmtion corzidors or foocl-producing areas for fish.

nlitigntion. Approxiroately 0.05 ncre of we�lands will be pennanently impacted as a result of n new nccess road and mdvert installation witliin tlie

Wetland Impacts Assessinent.
The 0.048 acre of wetland W1 that will be impacted is classified as a slope (HGM), PEM
(Coward'u1) wetlazld dominated Uy cattails (Typha latifolia) located withul the banks of an
ephemeral agricultural ditch on private land.
FuncHonal attributes of the areas where wetland W1wi11 Ue permanently impacted include a
moderate capacity as haUitat for local and inigrating songbirds, nuh�ient and sediment
stabilization, and water storage and delay. HaUitat for local and migratulg songUird ath�iUutes
are Uased on obseivations of cattail vegetaHon which can proved adequate habitat for several
species of songUird. Direct observations of moderate songUird and inigratoiy bird diversity in
the vicutity of the site suggest songbirds may utilize habitat at the site. No oUseivations of water
Uirds or standing water ut the wetland suggest fllat little or no waterUird habitat is present at
the site. The close proximity to Highway 66 and associated vehicle h�affic could deter some
songUirds fi•om usutg the site as habitat. Nuhient removal, sediment stabilization, and water
storage and delay attr�ibutes are based on oUservations duru�g field visits of agriculhtre
practices and possiUility that fertilizer use on surrounding pastureland could enter the wetland.
The heavily vegetated, linear, low gradient, chaiutel shaped morphology could delay and store
water during heavy precipitation events. Functional ath�iUutes of the areas where wetland
W1wi11 be permanently impacted 'ulchtde a low capacity for thermoregulation, water birds,
amphibian, reptile and 'uivertebrate haUitat support, recreaHon and educaHon, and
characteristic vegetaHon. ThermoregulaHon capacity is low since the area is heavily grazed, not
inundated, and no ri•ee or shruU species are present at the site to provide thermoregulation.
Amphibian, turtle, and inverteUrate capacity is low based on lack of water and hydrology at HZe
site even during typical rain events. No observations of evidence fllat amphibians, turtles, or
inverteUrates ulhabit or have inhaUitated this portion of the wetland also suggest low quality
haUitat. There is no capacity for fish on site since the site lacks water necessaiy for fish haUitat.
Following consh�ucHon activities, fiulctions and values reasonably expected to be adversely
impacted Uy the piroposed project include haUitat for local and migrating songbirds,
waterbirds, nufi•ient and sediment staUilization, water storage, therinoregulation, fish,
amphiUian, reprile and 'uivertebrate habitat support, and characteristic vegetation. VegetaHon
will be removed and replaced by impermeable surface and increased vehicle h•affic and will
thereUy elimutate opportuiuries for vegetaHon diversity, nuh•ient stabilizaHon, water storage,
and thermoregulation. Songbird and waterbird habitat, amphibian, hu�tle, and 'utvertebrate
habitat will also be impacted as these species prefer vegetated haUitats and iniiumal humut
presence.
