Lane-Wendson Transmission
Line Rebuild
The Bonneville Power Administration has prepared a draft environmental assessment
for the proposed Lane-Wendson Transmission Line Rebuild Project. The 41-mile
transmission line runs between Eugene and Florence in Lane County, Ore. The draft
describes the project, why it is needed, discusses the potential environmental impacts
the project would create, and lists the mitigation measures that would lessen or eliminate
those impacts.
We would like to hear from you. Please share your comments, concerns and any
insights you may have about the content of the draft. BPA involves the public during
environmental review to meet our obligations under the National Environmental Policy
Act. Your input also helps us make better decisions about projects we are considering
and may help us minimize or eliminate the environmental impacts of those decisions.
BPA is accepting comments through Dec 28, 2015.
Florence Hearth and Patio
owner James E. Gabriel must
make nearly $18,000 in resti-
tution to four clients and shut
down his business for repeat-
ed violations of construction
contracting law and court-
approved agreements.
Gabriel, 61, has operated as
an unlicensed construction
contractor doing business as
Florence Hearth and Patio.
He must remove any adver-
tising for Florence Hearth and
Patio and disconnect all phone
numbers linked to the store.
For three years, he must
also submit regular reports to
the Oregon Department of
Justice, proving that any
income he receives is obtained
legally.
In a settlement filed recent-
ly with the Lane County
Circuit Court, Gabriel admit-
ted to violations of existing
injunctions and agreed to new
sanctions sought by the
Construction
Contractors
Board (CCB) and the Oregon
Department of Justice.
For years, Gabriel sold and
installed pellet stoves, among
WEDNESDAY THURSDAY
other things. He also carried
chimney supplies and serviced
chimneys.
Installing stoves and clean-
ing chimneys both require a
CCB license.
The CCB cited him for
multiple violations of con-
tractor laws in 2006, 2007 and
2009.
A settlement filed with the
Lane County Circuit Court in
2009 barred him from work-
ing as a contractor until he
became licensed with the
CCB. At that time, he was
also prohibited from taking
money from clients until he
delivered any products and
finished any work.
Gabriel admitted to viola-
tions of the 2009 settlement in
2012. He recently admitted
that he violated the subse-
quent 2012 agreement at least
four times between mid-2013
and late 2014 by working as
an unlicensed contractor and
by taking deposits from con-
sumers.
The CCB, for example,
cited him for working as an
unlicensed contractor in
February 2014, after a
Reedsport consumer called to
complain that he incorrectly
installed a refurbished pellet
stove and failed to obtain a
required permit or tell her
about a required inspection.
“Consumers may not know
that people who install wood
stoves and clean chimneys
need a CCB license,”
Enforcement Manager Stan
Jessup said. “In fact, anyone
who bids on or works on proj-
ects that improve real estate
must be licensed.
“Any consumer who had
called us to check on Mr.
Gabriel the past several years
would have learned that he
lacked the required license
and was operating illegally.”
The CCB is the state
agency licensing more than
33,000 contractors. Anyone
who is paid to repair, improve
or build a home must be
licensed. Learn more about
how to have a successful proj-
ect at www.oregon.gov/ccb.
Homeowners can call the
CCB at 503-378-4621 to get
help checking a license.
