BLM seeks public input on right-of-way along Interstate south of Boise

BOISE, Idaho (KIFI) – The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is seeking public comment on a proposed amendment to an existing Idaho Power Company powerline right-of-way along Interstate 84, approximately 15 miles southeast of Boise.

This amendment would allow for the construction, operation and upkeep of a new 2,484-foot elevated powerline as part of an effort to connect two existing powerline rights-of-way on opposite sides of I-84.

Construction would include installation of seven power poles and creating a temporary 210-foot road to allow access for heavy equipment.

Documents, maps and instructions for commenting can be found HERE.

Comments will be accepted through April 7, 2023, by the following means:
