DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Project No. 1494-232--Oklahoma]
Grand River Dam Authority; Notice of Availability of Draft
Environmental Assessment
September 19, 2002.
In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969,
as amended, and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission)
regulations (18 CFR part 380), Commission staff have reviewed an
application for non-project use of project lands and waters at the
Pensacola Project (FERC No. 1494), and have prepared a draft
Environmental Assessment (EA) on the application. The project is
located on the Grand (Neosho) River in Craig, Delaware, Mayes, and
Ottawa Counties, Oklahoma.
Specifically, the project licensee (Grand River Dam Authority) has
requested Commission approval to permit Joe Harwood d/b/a Arrowhead
Investment & Development Company to expand and modernize an existing
marina located on the Duck Creek arm of Grand Lake, the project
reservoir. In the draft EA, Commission staff have analyzed the probable
environmental effects of the proposed marina improvements and have
concluded that approval of the proposal, with appropriate environmental
measures, would not constitute a major Federal action significantly
affecting the quality of the human environment.
Copies of the draft EA are available for review in Public Reference
Room 2-A of the Commission's offices at 888 First Street, NE,
Washington, DC. The draft EA also may be viewed on the Commission's
Internet Web site (www.ferc.gov)
using the ``FERRIS'' link.
Additional information about the project is available from the Commission's
Office of External Affairs, at (202) 502-8004, or on the Commission's
website using the FERRIS link. Click on the FERRIS link, enter the docket
number excluding the last three digits in the Docket Number field. Be
sure you have selected an appropriate date range. For assistance with
FERRIS, the FERRIS helpline can be reached at (202) 502-8222, TTY (202)
502-8659. The FERRIS link on the FERC's Internet website also provides
access to the texts of formal documents issued by the Commission, such
as orders, notices, and rulemakings.
Any comments on the draft EA should be filed within 30 days of the
date of this notice and should be addressed to Magalie R. Salas,
Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE.,
Washington, DC 20426. Please reference ``Pensacola Project, FERC
Project No. 1494-232'' on all comments. Comments may be filed
