City of Summerville; Notice of Availability of Draft 
Environmental Assessment

April 30, 1996.
    A draft environmental assessment (DEA) is available for public 
review. The DEA is for an application to amend the Summerville 
Hydroelectric Project. The application is to (1) substitute two 
turbine/generator units for the four units in the license; (2) revise 
the project boundary to include 9.6 miles of new transmission line in 
place of the licensed 8-mile transmission line; and (3) delete license 
article 303. The proposed amendment would not affect project capacity. 
The licensee requested the amendment because the original proposal was 
not economically feasible. The DEA finds that approval of the 
application would not constitute a major federal action significantly 
affecting the quality of the human environment. The Summerville 
Hydroelectric Project is located on the Gauley River in Nicholas 
County, West Virginia.
    The DEA was written by staff in the Office of Hydropower Licensing, 
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. Copies of the DEA can be viewed 
at the Commission's Reference and Information Center, 888 First Street 
NE., Washington, D.C. 20426. Copies can also be obtained by calling the 
project manager listed below.
    Please submit any comments within 20 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 Lois D. Cashell, Secretary, Federal 
Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street NE., Washington, D.C. 
20426. Please affix Project No. 10813-011 to all comments. For further 
information, please contact the project manager, Heather Campbell, at 
[phone].
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
