Grand River Dam Authority; Notice of Availability of Draft 
Environmental Assessment

May 23, 1997.
    A draft environmental assessment (DEA) is available for public 
review. The DEA analyzes the environmental impacts of an application by 
Grand River Dam Authority (licensee) to grant a permit to Mr. Larry 
Herrelson of Patricia Island Estates. The permit would allow Mr. 
Herrelson to excavate about 25,880 cubic yards of sediment from 9 coves 
on project lands for future recreational access. Patricia Island 
Estates is a planned residential community being developed in the 
Patricia Island portion of Grand Lake, Delaware County, near the town 
of Grove, Oklahoma. The DEA finds that the application to grant the 
permit would not constitute a major federal action significantly 
affecting the quality of the human environment. The Pensacola Project 
is on the Grand River, in Craig, Delaware, Mayes, and Ottawa Counties, 
Oklahoma.
    The DEA was written by staff in the Office of Hydropower Licensing, 
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. Copies of the DEA can be obtained 
by calling the Commission's Public Reference Room at [phone].
    Please submit any comments within 30 days from the date of this 
notice. Any comments, conclusions, or recommendations that draw upon 
studies, reports, or other working papers of substance should be 
supported by appropriate documentation.
    Comments should be addressed to: Ms. Lois D. Cashell, Secretary, 
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street N.E., 
Washington, D.C. 20426. Please affix Project No. 1494-119 to all 
comments. For further information, please contact the project manager, 
Steve Hocking, at [phone].
