BPA proposes to construct a new communications building and microwave tower at Walker Mountain located near Chemult, Ore. The building and tower are part of a larger BPA project to replace outdated communications equipment with more reliable technology.
BPA proposes that the Forest Service amend the site plan to allow the construction of a new 140-foot tower and 600 square-foot building to allow BPA to maintain and operate the power transmission system safely and reliably. Both the new tower and building would be located in the designated communication area known as “Zone B,” away from historic resources. The new tower would be sited slightly below the mountain top to avoid interference from/with existing users.
