Union Electric Company; Notice of Availability of Environmental 
Assessment

November 5, 1997.
    An environmental assessment (EA) is available for public review. 
The EA analyzes the environmental impacts of approving three non-
project lands applications at the Osage Hydroelectric Project FERC No. 
459. The Osage Hydroelectric Project is on the Osage River in Benton 
and Camden Counties, Missouri. Its reservoir is the Lake of the Ozarks. 
The applications reviewed in the EA include: (1) A permit to dredge 
4,000 cubic yards (cy) of sediment and construct a new marina, (2) a 
permit to dredge 600 cy of sediment and construct a new boat ramp, and 
(3) a permit to dredge 4,500 cy of gravel to reduce flooding of 
adjacent properties and install 500 feet of riprap to protect an 
eroding streambank. These permits are for work in the Gravois Arm, mile 
78.7, and Indian Creek Arm of Lake of the Ozarks, respectively
    The EA was written by staff in the Office of Hydropower Licensing, 
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. Commission staff conclude that 
approving the licensee's applications to grant the three permits would 
not constitute a major federal action significantly affecting the 
quality of the human environment. Copies of the EA can be obtained by 
calling the Commission's Public Reference Room at [phone].
