2022-24815. City of Idaho Falls; Notice of Availability of Environmental Assessment

In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission) regulations, 18 CFR part 380, the Office of Energy Projects has reviewed the application for non-project use of project lands and waters (water withdrawal) for the Idaho Falls Hydroelectric Project, located on the Snake River in Bonneville County, Idaho, and has prepared an Environmental Assessment (EA) for the project. The project does not occupy Federal lands.

The EA contains the staff's analysis of the potential environmental effects of the water withdrawal and concludes that licensing it would not constitute a major Federal action that would significantly affect the quality of the human environment.

The Commission provides all interested persons with an opportunity to view and/or print the EA via the internet through the Commission's Home Page ( http://www.ferc.gov) using the “eLibrary” link. Enter the docket number, excluding the last three digits in the docket number field, to access the document. At this time, the Commission has suspended access to the Commission's Public Reference Room, due to the proclamation declaring a National Emergency concerning the Novel Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19), issued by the President on March 13, 2020.
