Gilbert: Forest
landowners under
attack by B2H
would reduce the pay-
ments required if the land
is condemned to build the
transmission line.
In 2013 Idaho Power
admitted it would be cut-
ting trees over 21 inches
and that it would be cut-
ting trees in forested wet-
lands. Now it claims no
trees over 21 inches and
no forested wetlands are
impacted.
In 2013, Idaho Power
estimated it would re-
move
approximately
1,063 acres of forestland
in the two counties. Now
it claims the amount of
forestland taken will be
776 acres.
Idaho Power values
the lost forest land at
$488.60 per acre in Uma-
tilla County and $182.98
per acre in Union County.
If your forestland is
in an agriculture/forest
area and it loses a tax re-

tent to take private forest
lands in Union and Uma-
tilla counties.
Decisions
regarding
the Forest Practices Act
would be under the con-
trol of Idaho Power and
the Oregon Department
of Energy rather than the
Department of Forestry
and the landowner.
Idaho Power plans to
change the land use clas-

to pay for reforestation
after it clearcuts the right-
of-way.
Changing the land use
duction as a result of this
transmission line, the
land owner pays penalties
and increased taxes.
For land in elk or deer
winter range, the restriction
on construction between
Dec. 1 and March 31 can be
waived by the Oregon De-
partment of Energy.
If you have birds nest-
ing on your land, the
setbacks from nest are
between 300 feet and 0.5
miles during construction
when the nest is occupied.
Even that can be waived
by the Oregon Depart-
ment of Energy.
Owners of property
zoned as forestland, in a
farm/forest designation,
or where soils justify a
designation as forest, you
need to get involved. You
are being attacked by this
