ANTELOPE VALLEY STATION TO NESET TRANSMISSION PROJECT (2014)
The Antelope Valley Station to Neset Transmission (AVS) Project was proposed by Basin Electric Power Cooperative (Basin Electric). Basin Electric requested financial assistance from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Rural Utilities Service (RUS) to construct the project. RUS determined that its decision about whether to finance the project would constitute a major federal action that may have a significant impact on the environment, within the context of NEPA. RUS served as the lead federal agency for the NEPA environmental review of the project; WAPA and the U.S. Forest Service participated as cooperating agencies.
