Tuolumne Utilities District; Notice of Availability of Final 
Environmental Assessment

July 31, 1995.
    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission) 
Regulations, 18 CFR Part 380 (Order No. 486, 52 FR 47897), the Office 
of Hydropower Licensing has reviewed the application for a minor 
license for the Columbia Water Supply Hydroelectric Project, located 
near the town of Sonora, in Tuolumne County, California, and has 
prepared a final environmental assessment (EA) for the project.
    On March 9, 1995, staff issued and distributed to all parties a 
draft EA, and requested that comments on the draft EA be filed with the 
Commission within 30 days. Comments were filed by the applicant and are 
addressed in the final EA.
    In the final EA, the Commission's staff has analyzed the existing 
and potential future environmental impacts of the project and has 
concluded that approval of the project, with appropriate environmental 
protection and enhancement measures, would not constitute a major 
federal action that would significantly affect quality of the human 
environment.
    Copies of the EA are available for review in the Public Reference 
Branch, Room 3104, of the Commission's offices
