Chapter 3 Affected Environment
Chapter 3 – Affected Environment Chapter 3 Affected Environment In this Chapter: • Existing natural environment • Existing human environment • Protected resources This chapter describes the existing environment that may be affected by the alternatives. A brief regional description is given here to give the reader a better understanding of the information in this chapter. The project area is in the uppermost reaches of the Columbia River Basin, within the Snake River watershed. It is part of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, which is the largest remaining block of relatively undeveloped land in the contiguous United States. This ecosystem is centered around Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks and includes the national forests, wilderness areas, wildlife refuges, and other federal, state, tribal, and private lands that surround these parks. The landscape is scenic. Dominant features include mountain ranges over 3,660 m (12,000 feet) high, alpine valleys, rivers, broad flat plateaus, picturesque farmlands, and the special features of the national parks. The region is known for its variety of wildlife, unequaled elsewhere in the continental United States. Species present in large numbers include bighorn sheep, pronghorn antelope, moose, mule deer, elk, and black bear. Wolverines, grizzly bears, and reintroduced wolves are present as well. This region attracts over 5 million tourists and recreationists per year (Wyoming Department of Commerce, 1995). Visitors and local residents enjoy sightseeing, hiking, backcountry skiing, snowmobiling, camping, backpacking, horseback riding, mountain biking, snowboarding, parasailing, hunting and fishing. Because of the concentration of highly visible wildlife species in the region, wildlife-related recreation is a key element of the region’s economy and character. -
Grand Targhee Resort to Replace Blackfoot Chairlift (Alta, WY – April
Contact: Jennie White Marketing & Social Media Grand Targhee Resort (o): 307-353-2300 x 1328 [email protected] Grand Targhee Resort to Replace Blackfoot Chairlift (Alta, WY – April 13, 2016) Grand Targhee Resort is excited to announce that the Blackfoot chairlift will be replaced with a new Doppelmayr fixed grip quad chairlift this summer. The Blackfoot chairlift has been an iconic piece of Grand Targhee Resort’s history since 1974, when it was installed. This lift accesses over 500 acres and 1,200 vertical feet of terrain. The lone double chair is due for retirement and with this, brings a new chapter in Grand Targhee’s history. The old Blackfoot chair, manufactured by Riblet, was built in 1974 and had a 960 passenger per hour uphill capacity. The total ride time was about 12 minutes. Moving forward, Blackfoot will be replaced by a Doppelmayr fixed grip quad with comfort bar and foot rests that can haul 1,800 guests per hour. The total ride time will decrease to 7 minutes. In the event of a power outage the new lift will be able to run off of diesel power. Construction on the lift will begin immediately with the goal of having the new Blackfoot lift ready for opening day of the 2016/17 winter season. “The entire resort team is excited to replace and upgrade the Blackfoot chairlift,” stated marketing & sales director, Ken Rider. He goes on to say, “The resort ownership and entire team is committed to the guest experience and reinvesting in the resort with ongoing improvements. This is the largest and most visible of many recent -

Bpa/Lower Valley Transmission Project

Title of Proposed Action: BPA/Lower Valley Transmission Project, DOE/EIS-0267 States Involved: Idaho and Wyoming. Abstract: Bonneville Power Administration and Lower Valley Power and Light, Inc. propose to solve a voltage stability problem in the Jackson and Afton, Wyoming areas. Lower Valley buys electricity from BPA and then supplies it to the residences and businesses of the Jackson and Afton, Wyoming areas. Since the late 1980s, LVPL’s electrical load has been growing by an average of 4-5 megawatts (MW) per year, and LVPL expects continued growth at about this rate. During winter, an outage of one of the BPA or LVPL transmission lines that serve these areas could cause voltage on the transmission system to dip below acceptable levels in the Jackson area and to a lesser extent in the Afton area. Low voltage levels can cause brownouts, or under certain conditions, a blackout. BPA is considering five alternatives. For the Agency Proposed Action, BPA and Lower Valley would construct a new 115-kV line from BPA’s Swan Valley Substation near Swan Valley in Bonneville County, Idaho about 58 km (36 miles) east to BPA’s Teton Substation near Jackson in Teton County, Wyoming. -

Sarah Carpenter and Don Sharaf, owners of the Institute, split the evening between avalanche basics, a checklist approach to decision making, and a discussion of this year’s snowpack in the Tetons. The night ended with 52 door prizes. Many in the crowd of 90 left not only smarter about the risks of winter backcountry travel but also with smiles on their faces from the prizes.
