Notice of Wetlands Involvement for the Amazon/Willow Creek 
Project

AGENCY: Bonneville Power Administration (BPA), Department of Energy 
(DOE).

ACTION: Notice of wetlands involvement.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This notice announces BPA's proposal to develop a management 
plan for the Willow Creek Wildlife Mitigation Project that would 
include wetland habitat enhancement. The project is located in Lane 
County, Oregon. In accordance with DOE regulations for compliance with 
floodplain and wetlands environmental review requirements (10 CFR Part 
1022), BPA will prepare a wetland assessment and will perform this 
proposed action in a manner that will avoid or minimize adverse impacts 
to the wetland.
    The assessment will be included in the environmental assessment 
being prepared for the proposed project in accordance with the 
requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act.

DATES: Comments are due to the address below no later than January 16, 
1995.

ADDRESSES: Submit comments to the Public Involvement Manager, 
Bonneville Power Administration--CKP, P.O. Box 12999, Portland, Oregon 
97212.

Nancy Weintraub--ECN-6, Bonneville Power Administration, P.O. Box 3621,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: As part of the Willow Creek Wildlife 
Mitigation Project, BPA proposes to revegetate an emergent wetland with 
native wet meadow grasses and herbs. The proposal is to plow a wetland 
site in order to disrupt the seed bank of non-native grasses and re-
plant the area with native wet meadow grasses and herbs. The project is 
expected to expand native habitat in the Willow Creek Natural Area by 
providing native wetlands, improve storm water runoff quality, and 
providing additional flood protection. The proposed project would occur 
in sections 4 and 9 of T18S-R4W. The wetlands occur on land that would 
be acquired by BPA and are adjacent to the Willow Creek Natural Area.
    Maps and further information are available from BPA at the address 
above.
