DETERMINATION OF NONSIGNIFICANCE

DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSAL:

A new 115 kV (North Quincy) substation is proposed to be constructed on 3.14 acres of land which will be acquired in fee from Yahoo, Inc. This substation is for electrical load to a new Yahoo, Inc. data storage facility in Quincy, Washington. The yard and driveways will either be graveled or paved with asphalt. The existing transmission line running along County Road R NW will be tapped to feed the proposed substation. At the tap, there may be a need to install an additional guy pole on the West side of County Road P NW approximately 50 feet to the west in an alfalfa field. The perimeter of the property will be curbed and fenced with a 7' 6" high chain link fence. A prefabricated steel control building will also be placed within the fenced area. Excavation will be done to level the fenced site, to place conduit runs 30+ inches deep, a ground mat of 4/0 copper wire 18 inches deep on a grid approximately 20 feet on centers and foundations up to 25 feet deep. Transmission line easements will be procured at this time along the Yahoo north and west property lines for future lines if necessary.
