The Washington Water Power Co.; Notice of Availability of Final 
Environmental Assessment

August 12, 1997.
    A final environmental assessment (FEA) is available for public 
review. The FEA is for an application for the Spokane River 
Hydroelectric Project (FERC No. 2545) to construct a sediment by-pass 
tunnel on the left side of the Nine Mile Development powerhouse. The 
project is located on the Spokane River in Spokane, Stevens, and 
Lincoln Counties, Washington, and Kootenai and Benewah Counties, Idaho. 
The FEA finds that approval of the application would not constitute a 
major federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human 
environment.
    The FEA was written by staff in the Office of Hydropower Licensing, 
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. Copies of the EA can be viewed at 
the Commission's Reference and Information Center, Room 2A, 888 First 
Street, N.E., Washington, D.C., 20426. Copies can also be obtained by 
calling the project manager, John Novak at [phone].
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
