[Project No. 2031-046]


Springville City, Utah; Notice of Public Scoping for the
Environmental Assessment Evaluating Issuance of a New License for the
Bartholomew Hydroelectric Project in Utah County, UT

March 9, 2001.
    Pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act and procedures of
the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, the Commission staff intends
to prepare an Environmental Assessment (EA) that evaluates the
environmental impacts of issuing a new license for the constructed and
operating Bartholomew Project, No. 2031-046, located within Bartholomew
Canyon and on Hobble Creek, in Utah County, Utah. The subject project
is partially situated on federal lands within the Uinta National
Forest.
    The EA will consider both site-specific and cumulative
environmental effects, if any, of the proposed relicensing and
reasonable alternatives, and will include an economic, financial, and
engineering analysis. Preparation of staff's EA will be supported by a
scoping process to ensure identification and analysis of all pertinent
issues.
    At this time, the Commission staff does not anticipate holding any
public or agency scoping meetings nor conducting a site visit. Rather,
the Commission staff will issue one Scoping Document: (1) Outlining
staff's preliminary evaluation of subject areas to be addressed in the
EA; and (2) requesting concerned resource agencies, Native American
tribes, non-governmental organizations, and individuals to provide
staff with information on project area environmental resource issues
that need to be evaluated in the EA.
    The aforementioned scoping document will be provided to all
entities and persons listed on the Commission's mailing list for the
subject project. Those not on the mailing list for the Bartholomew
Hydroelectric Project may request a copy of the scoping document from
Jim Haimes, the project's Environmental Coordinator, at (202) 219-2780
or by contacting him by E-mail at james.haimes@ferc.fed.us.

David P. Boergers,
Secretary.
