Availability of Final Environmental Assessment

In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission's)
regulations, 18 CFR Part 380 (Order No. 486, 52 F.R. 47897), the Office
of Energy Projects has reviewed the City of Portland's application for
original license for operating unlicensed Portland Municipal
Hydroelectric Project, and Consumers Energy Company's new license for
the continued operation of the Webber Hydroelectric Project, located on
the Grand River, in the City of Portland, Ionia County, Michigan, and
has

prepared a Final Environmental Assessment (FEA) for the projects. In
the FEA, the Commission's staff has analyzed the potential
environmental effects of the projects and has concluded that licensing
the projects, with staff's recommended measures, would not constitute a
major federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human
environment.
Copies of the FEA are available for review in the Public Reference
Branch, Room 2-A, of the Commission's offices at 888 First Street,
N.E., Washington, D.C. 20426. The DEA may also be viewed on the web at
