ODOE, BLM and USFS have reopened the public comment period for the Boardman to Hemingway Transmission Line Project. These agencies hosted additional public scoping and information meetings on Idaho Power’s new routes and related documents in August 2010. The agencies encourage you to submit your comments by September 27, 2010.

During each meeting the state and federal agencies gave presentations about their respective review processes. In addition, Idaho Power gave a brief presentation about the project. Following the presentations, the agencies will held a question-and-answer session.

During the open house portion of the meetings attendees had opportunities to learn more about the project, review maps, provide written comments and discuss the project with agency staff and consultants, as well as Idaho Power representatives.
