Union Electric Company; Notice of Availability of Environmental 
Assessment

January 2, 1996.
    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's Regulations, 18 CFR Part 
380 (Order No. 486, 52 FR 47910), the Office of Hydropower Licensing 
(OHL) reviewed an application for dredging on the Lake of the Ozarks at 
the Osage Project. The applicant proposes to excavate approximately 
1,900 cubic yards of material for a boat ramp, a boat turn-around area, 
and a boat access channel. The applicant also proposes to construct a 
small protective berm around the lakeward edge of the excavation sites. 
The excavation will occur on project lands and waters in Morgan County, 
Missouri. The primary purpose of the excavation activity is to provide 
boat access to project waters for private recreational use. The staff 
prepared an Environmental Assessment (EA) for the action. In the EA, 
staff concludes that approval of the non-project use of project lands 
would not constitute a major federal action significantly affecting the 
quality of the human environment.
    Copies of the EA are available for review in the Public Reference 
Room, Room 2A, of the Commission's offices at 888 First Street NE., 
Washington, DC 20426.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
