Meeting for Discussion of the Draft Environmental Impact Statement for 
the Thunder Bay and Hillman Dam Hydro Projects

    On February 7, 1996, the Commission staff mailed the Thunder Bay 
River Basin Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) to the 
Environmental Protection Agency, resource and land management agencies, 
and interested organizations and individuals.
    The DEIS was noticed in the Federal Register on February 16, 1996 
(61 FR 6243), and comments are due April 16, 1996. The DEIS evaluates 
the environmental consequences of continuing to operate and maintain 
the existing Thunder Bay River Projects in Michigan. It also evaluates 
the environmental effects of implementing the applicant's proposals, 
agency and NGO recommendations, staff's recommendations, dam removal, 
and the no-action alternative.
    A public meeting, which will be recorded by an official 
stenographer, is scheduled on Wednesday, March 27, 1996, from 2:30 p.m. 
to 5:00 p.m. at Alpena Community College, NRC Room 150, 666 Johnson

    At this meeting, resource agency personnel and other interested 
persons will have the opportunity to provide oral and written comments 
and recommendations regarding the DEIS for the Commission's public 
record.
