The Western Area Power Administration (WAPA) and the Trinity Public Utilities District (TPUD) are initiating a right-of-way (ROW) expansion and vegetation management Project to reduce fire risk to the surrounding communities and public lands, as well as to increase electrical reliability to maintain critical services in local communities.

Western Area Power Administration and Aspen developed an EA (which mirrors an MND in many respects) and seven operation and maintenance (O&M) Plans and procedures in response to proposed changes in O&M procedures within Western’s Central Valley Project and Pacific AC Intertie ROWs and the Transmission Agency of Northern California’s (TANC) California-Oregon Transmission Project ROWs.
