Public Utility District No. 1 of Pend Oreille County; Notice of
Availability of Draft Environmental Assessment
August 10, 1998.
In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's regulations, 18 CFR Part
380 (Order No. 486, 52 F.R. 47910), the Office of Hydropower Licensing
(OHL) reviewed the proposal to add project lands in the upstream
portion of the project reservoir that were not included within the
original project boundary for the Box Canyon Hydroelectric Project in
Pend Oreille County, Washington. In addition, OHL reviewed an Offer of
Settlement made by the parties to this proceeding. The Commission
prepared a draft environmental assessment (DEA) for the proposed action
and offer of settlement. In the DEA, the Commission concludes that
approval of the proposed boundary change and offer of settlement will
not constitute a major federal action significantly affecting the
quality of the human environment.
This DEA was written by staff in the Office of Hydropower Licensing
(OHL). As such, the DEA is OHL staff's preliminary analysis of the
licensee's proposed boundary change and the parties offer of
settlement. No final conclusions have been made by the Commission
regarding this matter.
Should you wish to provide comments on the DEA, they should be
filed within 30 days from the date of this letter. Comments should be
addressed to: The Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888
First Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20426. Please include the project
number (2042-010) on any comments filed.
Copies of the DEA are available for review in the Reference and
Information Center, Room 2A, of the Commission's offices at 888 First
Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20426.
For further information, please contact Jim Hastreiter at (503)
326-5858, ext. 225 or George Taylor at (202) 219-2692.
David P. Boergers,
Secretary.
