The Washington Forest Practices Act: When Is Compliance With Sepa Required?, Christine M. Cordes
The Washington Forest Practices Act: When Is Compliance With Sepa Required?, Christine M. Cordes
Seattle University Law Review
This comment analyzes the problems created by the Forest Practices Act’s scheme for environmental review. First, the comment examines the statutory definitions of the forest practices classes, determining which forest practice classes are within the scope of SEPA review under the FPA. Second, the comment discusses the effect of the 1981 State Environmental Policy Act amendment on the types of forest practices exempt from SEPA. The comment further points out the failure of the existing forest practices regulations to achieve the policy balance required by the FPA. The comment’s conclusion is two-fold: the Classic “U” holding best represents the legislature’s …
Impacts Of The Pacific Northwest Electric Power Planning And Conservation Act On The Development Of Energy Resources In The Pacific Northwest: An Analysis Of The Resource Acquisition Priority Scheme, Preston Michie
Seattle University Law Review
This article discusses how the Pacific Northwest Electric Power Planning and Conservation Act may affect the region's choice of resources to construct. Potential choices range from conventional resources such as coal and nuclear to renewable resources such as geothermal, biomass, wave, tidal, solar, and wind. In addition, conservation and cogeneration are now viable energy alternatives. This discussion focuses on PNEPPCA's resource acquisition priority scheme and provides an overview of the incentives and disincentives which may influence the resource selection process. Rather than predicting which resources the region's utilities may ultimately construct, this article analyzes the legal barriers proponents of particular …

The Pacific Northwest Electric Power Planning And Conservation Act-Solution For A Regional Dilemma, Henry M. Jackson
Seattle University Law Review
For the past four decades, the Bonneville Power Administration(BPA) has played a singular and powerful role in developing the Northwest regional electric power system, and indirectly in the regional economy that system supports. The federal government's decision during the first half of this century to develop multi-purpose water resource projects led to the construction of many dams, most of them in the Western United States, most built since the mid-1930s, and most including hydroelectric generation. As we enter the 1980s, fundamental changes have occurred. Historically, BPA has had sufficient resources to sell power to any utility or other customer in …
The Pacific Northwest Electric Power Planning And Conservation (And Thermal Power Plant Relief) Act, Ralph Cavanagh
The Pacific Northwest Electric Power Planning And Conservation (And Thermal Power Plant Relief) Act, Ralph Cavanagh
Seattle University Law Review
Supporters of the proposed Pacific Northwest Electric Power Planning and Conservation Act have not produced satisfactory answers to two fundamental questions. First, why does the region require significant new incentives for the construction of nuclear and coal-fired power plants? Second, why must Congress link urgently needed encouragement of conservation and renewable energy measures to the creation of such incentives?
