Thunder Bay Power Company; Notice of Intention To Hold a Public
Meeting for Discussion of the Draft Environmental Impact Statement for
the Thunder Bay and Hillman Dam Hydro Projects

On February 7, 1996, the Commission staff mailed the Thunder Bay

The DEIS was noticed in the Federal Register on February 16, 1996
(61 FR 6243), and comments are due April 16, 1996. The DEIS evaluates
the environmental consequences of continuing to operate and maintain
the existing Thunder Bay River Projects in Michigan. It also evaluates
the environmental effects of implementing the applicant's proposals,
agency and NGO recommendations, staff's recommendations, dam removal,
and the no-action alternative.
A public meeting, which will be recorded by an official
stenographer, is scheduled on Wednesday, March 27, 1996, from 2:30 p.m.
to 5:00 p.m. at Alpena Community College, NRC Room 150, 666 Johnson
