DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Project No. 2652-007, Montana]
PacifiCorp; Notice of Availability of Final Environmental
Assessment
July 22, 2002.
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 staff has reviewed the application for a subsequent
license for the Bigfork Hydroelectric Project located on the Swan
River, in Flathead County,
[[Page 49330]]
Montana, and has prepared a final environmental assessment (EA) for the
project. The project does not occupy any Federal or tribal lands. In
the final EA, the Commission's staff has analyzed the potential
environmental effects of the existing project and has concluded that
approval of the project, with appropriate environmental protection
measures, would not constitute a major federal action significantly
affecting the quality of the human environment.
On April 12, 2002, Commission staff issued a draft EA for the
project and requested comments within 45 days. Five entities filed
comments which are addressed in this final EA.
Copies of the final EA can be viewed at the Commission's Reference
and Information Center, Room 2A, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC
20426, or by calling 202-208-1371. The document also can be viewed on
the web at http://rimsweb1.ferc.gov/rims (call 202-208-2222 for assistance).
For further information, contact Steve Hocking at 202-219-2656.
Magalie R. Salas,
Secretary.
