In a nutshell, Request
for Amendment 2 (RFA2), submitted by Idaho Power[1]
seeks approval from the Energy Facility Siting Council[2]
to:
*Widen the B2H site boundary - adding a half-mile for 300 miles (the current width is 500'), without additional surveys;
*Add a "mid-line capacitor" station - to boost the energy all the way to Idaho; *Add miles of access roads and widen others - to accommodate the amendments' additions; *Change "site conditions" - for example, weakening fish & wildlife protections; *And more... LINK

If you want to
submit comments by May 30th on any particular piece of this
amendment request, the information is in the Public Notice LINK. The process is very similar to the original
site certificate process and you may recall our “How
To” Handbook and other tips from years ago.
Two paths: 1) go for the hearts and
minds of the Council and comment with your opinion and passion; and/or 2) comment with “specific
specificity” to enable a possible contested case. We can help!
