The Bonneviile Power Administra
tion signed an agreement June 23 with
the Confederated Tribes of the Warm
Springs Reservation to allow construc
tion of a high-voltage, double circuit
By Catherine Siegner
transmission line along a 16-mile cor
ridor through the Reservation in Central
Oregon.
The right-of-way, for which BPA will
pay the Tribes $4.5 million, will facilitate
completion of a transmission grid that
will tie in the plants being constructed at
Hanford, in Washington, Boardman, in
eastern Oregon, and the two planned
nuclear facilities at Pebble Springs near
Arlington, with the main BPA line in the
Willamette Valley.
Conservationists and wilderness
advocates are urging the Canadian
government to join in a cooperative ven
ture which would create an Arctic Inter
national Wildlife Range in northeast
Alaska.
The area along the Beaufort Sea and
on both sides of the Alaska-Yukon bor
der supports the annual migration of one
of the last sizable barren-ground caribou
herds to and from its calving grounds
along the arctic seacoast.
Canada's Minister of Indian and
Northern Affairs, Hugh Faulkner, an
nounced in January that Parks Canada
was initiating consultations on a pro
posed 5.2 million acre Yukon wilderness
park adjacent to the Arctic Wildlife
Range. Canadian action on the proposal
would have implications for a section of
the Alaska lands legislation before the
U.S. Congress which currently desig
nates a large portion of the Porcupine
caribou calving area as a “special study
area for oil and gas exploration.
A petition that would simplify the pro
cedure for forming Public Utility Districts
(PUDs) was filed Monday, June 26, with
the Secretary of State by the Public
Power Coalition, a group including the
Oregon State Grange, the Consumer
Power League, the Oregon-Washington
Farmer’s Union.
The Coalition turned in 65,835 signa
tures, which is thousands more than was
necessary to place the measure before
the voters in November.
“We’re confident the measure will
pass,” said Mildred Norman, secretary
to the State Grangemaster, W.C. Harris.
“We hope to have the same success in
November that we had getting the signa
tures.”
Voters of Gilliam County in eastern
Oregon may have a chance to vote on
whether the proposed Pebble Springs
nuclear plants should be built near Ar
lington.
An initiative petition has been submit
ted by Bob Maginnis and McLaren
Stinchfield, both of Condon, to the Gil
liam County Clerk, that, if signed by 62
registered voters of Gilliam County,
would put the following measure on the
November ballot:
“Initiative would prohibit the construc
tion and operation of nuclear power
plants in Gilliam County.”
The legal effect of the measure, if
passed, is in doubt because the Gilliam
County Planning Commission has al
ready granted a Conditional Use Permit
for construction of the plants. Hearings
are now underway in Portland before the
state Energy Facility Siting Council on
whether a construction permit from the
state should be granted.

Bridge names sought
The Eugene Water & Electric Board (EWEB) would like sugges
tions from the public on what to name the new bicycle bridge now being
built over the Willamette River.
The topic was brought up during the EWEB Board meeting Monday
when EWEB Manager Keith Parks informed the board that the sugges
tion had been made to name it “The Willy Knickerbocker Memorial
Bridge.”
The board will take suggestions from the public at its next meeting,
July 10, at 7:30 p.m. in the EWEB building at 500 E. 4th.
In other business, the board approved a project totalling $36,129 to
extend electric and water service to the new Tadmor Subdivision north
of Beltline Rd. and east of the Willamette River.
The board also okayed a $336,200 expenditure to install capacitors
at the Wiilakenzie and Weyerhaeuser substations to reduce line losses
and increase efficiency in electric transmission.
