Nisqually Transmission Line Relocation Project Nisqually Transmission Line Relocation Project Preliminary Environmental Assessment Bonneville Power Administration Fort Lewis Military Reservation Nisqually Indian Tribe Bureau of Indian Affairs October 2004 Nisqually Transmission Line Relocation Project Responsible Agencies and Tribe: U.S. Department of Energy, Bonneville Power Administration (Bonneville); U.S. Department of Defense, Fort Lewis Military Reservation (Fort Lewis); the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA); and the Nisqually Indian Tribe (Tribe). Name of Proposed Project: Nisqually Transmission Line Relocation Project Abstract: Bonneville proposes to remove and reroute two parallel transmission lines that cross the Nisqually Indian Reservation in Thurston County, Washington. Bonneville’s easement across the Reservation for a portion of the Olympia-Grand Coulee line has expired. Though Bonneville has a perpetual easement for the Olympia-South Tacoma line across the Reservation, the Tribe has asked Bonneville to remove both lines so the Tribe can eventually develop the land for its community. The land fronts State Route 510 and is across the highway from the Tribe’s Red Wind Casino. In addition, the Tribe would like Bonneville to remove the two lines from a parcel next to the Reservation that Fort Lewis owns. The Tribe is working with Fort Lewis to obtain this parcel, which also has frontage on SR 510. Bonneville is proposing to remove the portions of these lines on the Reservation and on the Fort-owned parcel and rebuild them south of SR 510 on Fort Lewis property. Fort Lewis is willing to have these lines on their federal property, in exchange for other in-holdings currently owned by Thurston County that the Tribe would purchase and turn over to Fort Lewis. Bonneville is also considering three other alternatives. For Alternative 1, Bonneville would remove about a half mile of the Olympia-Grand Coulee line (the area with the expired easement). The portion of the Olympia-South Tacoma line that is on the existing perpetual easement would be rebuilt in this section using double-circuit towers. The new double-circuit towers would carry both lines. For Alternative 2, Bonneville would remove the Olympia-Grand Coulee transmission line (that has the expired easement) from the Reservation, and leave the Olympia-South Tacoma line in place. The Olympia-Grand Coulee line would be rebuilt on Fort Lewis as described for the Proposed Action. For the No Action Alternative, Bonneville would not take action to relocate either transmission line. Leaving the situation as is, Bonneville would be in violation of the easement rights of the Olympia-Grand Coulee line. The preliminary environmental analysis determined that the Proposed Action would have impacts to vegetation, wildlife (designated northern spotted owl critical habitat), land use, soils, visual resources (some beneficial), socioeconomics, public health and safety, and air quality. Alternative 1 would have few environmental impacts because it would rebuild in the existing right-of-way, but larger towers would be used. Alternative 2 would have impacts similar to the Proposed Action, with fewer wildlife, vegetation and soil impacts, but also fewer beneficial visual impacts. The No Action Alternative would have few environmental impacts.

The new addition will not affect the operations of the current store except for a minor change in the entrance to the drive-in during construction. The expansion will include offices for the Nisqually Construction Company on the second floor and a mixture of retail on the ground floor. “We are going to have a mail shop, kind of like a UPS store, but we’re going to run it,” Iyall said. Other tenants are still being decided, but will probably include some sort of fast food business. The Nisqually Construction Company will build the project and that will include four to five tribal member jobs through TERO. Meanwhile, the Frederickson store that opened in the fall of 2017 is doing quite well. “In that location, we are serving a number of companies that have 24-hour operations such as Boeing and JBLM. We’re already selling twice as much gas there as we do at our reservation store.” Additionally, the deli is in high demand due to the shift workers.

Billy Frank, Jr., continues to inspire those still around today and those still to come.” Billy Frank Jr., a member of the Nisqually Tribe, was a longtime Indian treaty rights and environmental activist, known for leading the fight to restore and protect Treaty fishing rights in Washington state. For decades, he organized demonstrations and acts of civil disobedience to fight for tribal rights, culminating in the 1979 Supreme Court decision in Washington v. Washington State Commercial Passenger Fishing Vessel Ass’n, which affirmed the treaty rights of tribes to fair fishing access.

Among other things, he has a neighborhood in Seattle, Washington named after him, a city park, a marina, restaurants and stores, as well as a school on the Puyallup Indian Reservation. His name is revered by Northwest Indians and respected by non-Indians who know his story. And yet, he remains, legally, a convicted murderer. For years there has been a small movement to clear Leschi’s name. However, it was only two years ago, almost 150 years after his conviction, that

The event was well attended and featured a seasonal dinner, cider pressing with the apples from the Garden, and an abundant giveaway of food and medicine. We would like to give a big thanks to our volunteers, the Youth Center staff, and our garden staff, especially our extraordinary seasonal crew as they are finishing up their work for the year. As we continually gather community feedback, our programing has grown and evolved over the years. In the past couple years we have increased services to Nisqually Elders. This year we completed our second season of the Elders Home Delivery program – this year 24 Nisqually Elders received a box of assorted produce from the Garden each week through the peak season. Also, in collaboration with the Nisqually AmeriCorps crew, we built raised garden beds in the yards of 5 Elders and provided seeds and starts for their own gardens. We will continue to build raised garden beds for 5 Elders each spring. In addition to increasing services to Elders, we have also expanded our nutrition education and medicinal plant program over the past several years.

  • Where the Salmon Run: the Life and Legacy of Billy Frank Jr
    LEGACY PROJECT A century-old feud over tribal fishing ignited brawls along Northwest rivers in the 1960s. Roughed up, belittled, and handcuffed on the banks of the Nisqually River, Billy Frank Jr. emerged as one of the most influential Indians in modern history. Inspired by his father and his heritage, the elder united rivals and survived personal trials in his long career to protect salmon and restore the environment.
