DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
[Project No. 553-005 Washington]

 

City of Seattle, WA; Availability of Draft Environmental 
Assessment

March 3, 1994.
    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 Hydropower Licensing has reviewed the application for a new license 
for the existing Skagit River Hydroelectric Project, located on the 
Skagit River in Whatcom County, Washington, near the city of 
Marblemount, and has prepared a Draft Environmental Assessment (DEA) 
for the project. In the DEA, the Commission's staff has analyzed the 
existing and potential future environmental impacts of the project and 
has concluded that approval of the project, with appropriate 
environmental protective or enhancement measures, would not constitute 
a major federal action that would significantly affect quality of the 
human environment.
    Copies of the DEA are available for review in the Public Reference 
Branch, room 3104, of the Commission's offices at 941 North Capitol 
Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426.
    Any comments should be filed within 30 days from the date of this 
notice and should be addressed to Lois D. Cashell, Secretary, Federal 
Energy Regulatory Commission, 825 North Capitol Street, NE., 
Washington, DC 20426. Please affix ``Skagit River Hydroelectric 
Project, FERC No. 553-005'' to all comments. For further information, 
contact Mr. James Hunter at (202) 219-2839.
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
