SUMMARY OF ACTION:
Puget Sound Energy (PSE) has proposed to construct a new 230 kV bulk electrical transmission corridor
and associated electrical energy system between the Talbot Hill Substation in Renton and the
Sammamish Substation in Redmond to supply future electrical capacity to the Eastside. PSE has
identified that the proposal is likely to have probable significant adverse environmental impacts and
issuance of a State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) Threshold Determination of Significance is
appropriate. PSE has made application to Bellevue for review and processing of an Environmental
Impact Statement (EIS) for this project. Bellevue has been identified as the nominal lead agency for this
EIS, with the other four impacted cities, Renton, Newcastle, Kirkland and Redmond serving with
Bellevue as Principal Jurisdictions, and co-lead agencies for the portions of the proposal that lie within
their respective city limits. The purpose of this interagency agreement is to establish how the Principal
Jurisdictions will work cooperatively to review and respond to the proposal under SEPA.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the Resolution authorizing the Mayor and City Clerk to enter into an interagency agreement
with the cities of Bellevue, Kirkland, Newcastle and Redmond regarding coordinated environmental
review of PSE’s proposed Energize Eastside 230 kV Transmission Line Project.

SUBJECT:Interagency Agreement Between Renton, Bellevue, Kirkland,
Newcastle and Redmond Regarding Coordinated
Environmental Review of Puget Sound Energy’s Proposed
Energize Eastside 230 kV Transmission Line Project
ISSUE:
Should Council approve a resolution authorizing the Mayor and City Clerk to enter into
an interagency agreement with the cities of Bellevue, Kirkland, Newcastle and Redmond
regarding coordinated environmental review of Puget Sound Energy’s proposed
Energize Eastside 230 kV Transmission Line Project?
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the resolution authorizing the Mayor and City Clerk to enter into an
interagency agreement with the cities of Bellevue, Kirkland, Newcastle and Redmond
regarding coordinated environmental review of PSE’s proposed Energize Eastside 230 kV
Transmission Line Project.
BACKGROUND SUMMARY:
Puget Sound Energy (PSE) has proposed to construct a new 230 kV bulk electrical
transmission corridor and associated electrical energy system between the Talbot Hill
Substation in Renton and the Sammamish Substation in Redmond to supply future
electrical capacity to the Eastside (potential route segments that PSE has identified are
shown on the attached map). PSE has identified that the proposal is likely to have
probable significant adverse environmental impacts and issuance of a State
Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) Threshold Determination of Significance is appropriate.
PSE has made application to Bellevue for review and processing of an Environmental
Impact Statement (EIS) for this project. Bellevue has been identified as the nominal lead
agency for this EIS, with the other four impacted cities, Renton, Newcastle, Kirkland and
Redmond serving with Bellevue as Principal Jurisdictions, and co-lead agencies for the

portions of the proposal that lie within their respective city limits. The purpose of this
interagency agreement is to establish how the Principal Jurisdictions will work
cooperatively to review and respond to the proposal under SEPA.
The main provisions of this interagency agreement are:
PSE represents that there is a need to construct a new 230 kV bulk electrical
transmission line corridor and associated substation(s) and infrastructure
between the existing Talbot Hill Substation in Renton and the existing
Sammamish Substation in Redmond (the proposal). The purpose of this proposal
is to supply future electrical capacity to the Eastside and improve the Eastside
electrical grid reliability.
The interagency agreement is between the five cities directly impacted by the
proposal: Renton, Bellevue, Kirkland, Newcastle and Redmond. The purpose of
the interagency agreement is to establish how the five jurisdictions will work
cooperatively to review and respond to the proposal under SEPA.
Bellevue is designated as the nominal lead agency, with the four other cities
designated as co-lead agencies where the proposal traverses their city. All five
cities are designated as Principal Jurisdictions.
The EIS will be phased. The first phase will address the need, methods and
general feasibility of the proposal. The second phase will address construction
level impacts of the proposal.
The list of alternatives to be analyzed shall include those agreed to by PSE, as
well as those alternatives proposed by at least two Principal Jurisdictions.
The Principal Jurisdictions will consult to identify a preferred alternative.
Selection of a preferred alternative requires the approval of Bellevue and any
other principal jurisdiction where the preferred alternative would be located.
The EIS may proceed with no preferred alternative identified.
An EIS Steering Committee and an EIS Collaboration Team made up of
representatives of the Principal Jurisdictions will be established.
Bellevue will be responsible as the primary point of contact, establishing public
meetings as required by SEPA, comment opportunities, general SEPA
administration, identifying actions as defined by SEPA and contracting with the
EIS consultant.
The agreement establishes timelines for review and comments to be submitted
by the Principal Jurisdictions.
All of the Principal Jurisdictions are required to provide technical staff to
participate in the EIS process.
PSE will pay for the development of the EIS.
Each Principal Jurisdiction will coordinate and negotiate with PSE reimbursement
for their participating staff members and other costs.

Appeals: if there is an appeal, the Principal Jurisdictions will enter into an
agreement stipulating proportional share of any legal defense costs not
recovered from PSE.
Principal Jurisdictions may become Participating Jurisdictions by amendment to
the agreement. Participating Jurisdictions will not have authority over decisions,
but will have the same rights and responsibilities for review and comment as the
Principal Jurisdictions on draft documents.
The agreement extends through the issuance of the final EIS (FEIS) and any
supplements or addenda to the agreement required as a result of any appeal
proceedings.
Any party may withdraw from the agreement without cause upon 30-day written
notice to the other parties.
Except in the case of legal costs associated with appeals, this agreement shall not
result in any monetary liabilities from one party to another.
The preparation of the EIS, final design and permitting are scheduled to take place in
2015-2016, with construction of the proposal in 2017-2018. A Citizens Advisory Group
recommended two routes for the transmission line corridor, shown as “Oak” and
“Willow” in the attached graphics, as a result of a year-long series of study sessions and
public meetings. These preferred routes were presented on an advisory basis to PSE.
PSE retains final decision authority over selection of routes to be evaluated in the EIS.
