Allete, Inc., d.b.a. Minnesota Power, Inc; Notice of Availability
of Environmental Assessment
July 29, 2003.
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 FR 47897), the Office
of Energy Projects has reviewed the application for a new license for
the Winton Hydroelectric Project located on the Kawishiwi River, in
Lake and St. Louis Counties, Minnesota, and has prepared an
Environmental Assessment (EA) for the project. In the EA, the
Commission's staff has analyzed the potential environmental effects of
the project and has concluded that approval of the project, with
appropriate environmental measures, would not constitute a major
federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human
environment.
A copy of the EA is available for review at the Commission or may
be viewed on the Commission's Web site at http://www.ferc.gov,
using the ``FERRIS'' link. Enter the docket number excluding the last
three digits in the docket number field to access the document. For
