Chugach Electric Association, Inc.; Notice of Availability of 
Final Environmental Assessment

October 28, 1999.
    A final environmental assessment (FEA) is available for public 
review. the FEA is for an application to amend the license for the 
Cooper Lake Project (FERC No. 2170) for a 4.3 megawatt increase in the 
rated generating capacity. The increase would be achieved by rewinding 
the stator coils of the generators and by replacing the runners of the 
turbines. The hydraulic capacity of each of the two generating units 
would increase from 165.5 cubic feet per second (cfs) to 190 cfs, a 
total project increase from 331 cfs to 380 cfs. Cooper Lake, the 
project reservoir would be drawn down to facilitate the upgrades of the 
generating units. The Cooper Lake Project is located on Cooper Lake, 
Cooper Creek and Kenai Lake Near Cooper Landing on the Kenai Peninsula, 
Alaska. The FEA finds that approval of the application would not 
constitute a major federal action significantly affecting the quality 
of the human environment.
    The FEA was written by staff in the Office of Hydropower Licensing, 
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. Copies of the FEA are available 
for review in the Commission's Public Reference Branch, Room 2A, 888 
First Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20426 or by calling (202) 208-
1371. The FEA may be viewed on the web at httP://www.ferc.fed.us./
online/rims.htm. Please call [phone] for assistance. For further 
information, please contact John K. Novak at [phone].
