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

July 7, 1998.
    An environmental assessment (EA) is available for public review. 
The EA is for an application to amend the license for the Cooper lake 
Hydroelectric Project. The application is to increase the spillway 
capacity to allow passage of the Probable Maximum Flood by lowering the 
spillway crest to 1,206 feet mean sea level and installing 4.5-foot-
high steel sheet parapet wall along the crest of the dam. The EA finds 
that approval of the amendment would not constitute a major federal 
action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment. 
The project is located on Cooper Lake, Cooper Creek and Kenai Lake in 
the municipality of Anchorage, Alaska.
    Copies of the EA are available for review in the Public Reference 
Branch of the Commission's offices at 888 First Street, NE., 
Washington, DC 20426.
    Comments should be filed within 30 days from the date of this 
notice and should be addressed to David P. Boergers, Acting Secretary, 
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., 
Washington, DC 20426. Please affix Project No. 2170-008 to all 
comments. For further information, please contact John K. Novak, 
Environmental Assessment Coordinator, at [phone].
David P. Boergers,
Acting Secretary.
