April 1987). This report, which includes an appendix containing con- fidential site forms and maps, has been filed with OAHP. Addendum reports on surveys of project reroutes also have been prepared and filed at OAHP. 9. Do you know whether applications are pending for governmental appro- vals of other proposals directly affecting the property covered by your proposal? If yes, explain. No applications pending at this time. 10. List any government approvals or permits that will be needed for your proposal, if known. Hydraulics permits will be obtained where required by Washington Department of Fisheries and Washington Department of Wildlife. Permit applications, where required, will be submitted at a later date. Work within waters under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers either do not require Army permits or is authorized under a nationwide permit for utility lines (Department of the Army regulations dated July 22, 1982; paragraph 330.5(a)(12)). 11. Give brief, complete description of your proposal, including the pro- posed uses and the size of the project and site. There are several questions later in this checklist that ask you to describe certain aspects of your proposal. You do not need to repeat those answers on this page. Section E requires a complete description of the objec- tives and alternatives of your proposal and should not be summarized here. The purpose of this project is to make available a high quality long- distance voice and data communication transmission system to the Pacific Northwest. The project entails installation and operation of a fiber optics communication line. This system provides high quality transmission as a result of laser technology and digital transmission. Wherever possible, the line will be buried in existing road and rail rights -of -way. At bridge crossings the line will be attached to the side of the bridge. Cable installation activities will vary along the route, depending on the conditions encountered at a specific location. Techniques used will include plowing, trenching, boring, and bridge attachment. Plowing utilizes a crawler for direct burial of a 3/4-inch diameter fiber optic cable or a 3/4-inch diameter fiber optic cable encased with a 1-3/4-inch diameter plowable conduit. The cable will be placed with a minimum of 42 inches of cover. A backhoe or trencher will excavate a !••foot wide trench for direct placement of the cable or encasement of the cable in either a 4-inch diameter PVC conduit or three 2-inch diameter bundled PVC conduits. The PVC conduits will be encased in concrete to provide further protection in those areas which are likely to have subsurface disturbance. The conduits will have a minimum of 42 inches of cover. The boring process for fiber optic cable placement involves boring machine installation of a 4- or -2-
