Puget Sound Power & Light Co.; Intent To Hold a Public Meeting in 
Snoqualmie, WA, to Discuss Staff's Draft Environmental Impact Statement 
(DEIS) for The Snoqualmie Falls Hydroelectric Project

November 23, 1994.
    On November 15, 1994, the Commission staff mailed the Snoqualmie 
Falls DEIS to the Environmental Protection Agency, resource and land 
management agencies, and interested organizations and individuals. This 
document evaluates the environmental consequences of operating the 
applicant's existing 42-megawatt (MW) hydroelectric project, located on 
the Snoqualmie River, approximately 25 miles east of Seattle in western 
Washington.
    The applicant proposes extensive structural modifications of the 
existing project facilities and construction of additional project 
facilities needed to expand the project from 42 MW to 72 MW; hydraulic 
capacity would increase from 2,500 to 3,620 cubic feet per second.
    The subject DEIS also evaluates the environmental effects of: 
additional flow options and supplemental measures with the applicant's 
proposal; a minor upgrade; decommissioning the project; and the no 
action alternative.
    The public meeting on the Snoqualmie Falls Project, which will be 
recorded by an official stenographer, is scheduled from 7:00 p.m. to 
11:00 p.m. on Thursday, December 15, 1994. The meeting will be held at 
the Mount Si High School in Snoqualmie, Washington.
    At the subject meeting, resource agency personnel and other 
interested persons will have the opportunity to provide oral and 
written comments and recommendations regarding the Snoqualmie Falls 
DEIS for the Commission's public record. Written comments may also be 
filed with the Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 825 
North Capitol Street NE., Washington, DC 20426. Comments must be filed 
by January 17, 1995.
    For further information, please contact Kathleen Sherman at (202) 
219-2834.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
