DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Project No. 11480-001, Alaska]
Haida Corporation; Notice of Availability of Draft Environmental
Assessment
September 9, 1999.
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 an original
license for Haida Corporation's proposed Reynolds Creek Hydroelectric
Project, and has prepared a Draft Environmental Assessment (DEA). The
project would be located about 10 miles east of Hydaburg, Alaska on
Prince of Wales Island. The DEA contains the Commission staff's
analysis of the potential future environmental impacts of the project
and has concluded that licensing the project, with appropriate
environmental protective measures, would not constitute a major federal
action that would significantly affect the quality of the human
environment.
Copies of the DEA are available for review in the Commission's
Public Reference Room, Room 2A, at 888 First Street, NE., Washington,
DC 20426, and on the web at http://www.ferc.fed.us/online/rims.htm
(please call (202) 208-2222 for assistance).
Any comments to this DEA should be filed within 45 days from the
date of this notice and addressed to David P. Boergers, Secretary,
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE.,
Washington, DC 20426. For further information, please contact Nan
Allen, Project Coordinator, at (202) 219-2938.
Linwoond A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
