DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Project No. 2659-011 Oregon]
PacifiCorp; Notice of Availability of Final Environmental
Assessment
December 26, 2001.
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 Energy Projects has reviewed the application for license for the
Powerdale Hydroelectric Project, located on the Hood River in Hood
River County, Oregon, and has prepared a Final Environmental Assessment
(FEA) for the project. There are no federal lands within the project
boundaries although a portion of the project is located in the Columbia
River Gorge National Scenic Area.
The FEA contains the staff's analysis of the potential
environmental impacts of the project and concludes 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.
A copy of the FEA is on file with the Commission and is available
for public inspection. The FEA may also be viewed on the web at http://
www.ferc.gov
using the ``RIMS'' link--select ``Docket #'' and follow
the instructions (call 202-208-2222 for assistance).
For further information, contact Bob Easton at (202) 219-2782.
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
