[Federal Register Volume 61, Number 143 (Wednesday, July 24, 1996)] [Notices] [Page 38446] From the Federal Register Online via the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] [FR Doc No: 96-18744] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY [Project No. 2365-011] Madison Paper Industries; Notice of Availability of Draft Environmental Assessment July 18, 1996. A draft environmental assessment (DEA) is available for public review. The DEA is for an application to amend the Anson Hydroelectric Project. The application is to resurface the dam; reconfigure the permanent crest; raising the elevation from 241.67' to 242.62' (except for a 50-ft section which will be lowered to 242.62') in order to accept an inflatable flashboard system; and install an inflatable flashboard system, raising the normal headpond elevation by 1.5 feet. The DEA finds that approval of the application would not constitute a major federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment. The Anson Hydroelectric Project is located on the Kennebec River in Somerset County, Maine. The DEA was written by staff in the Office of Hydropower Licensing, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. Copies of the DEA can be viewed at the Commission's Public Reference Room, Room 2A, 888 First Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20426. Copies can also be obtained by calling the project manager listed below. Please submit any comments within 20 days from the date of this notice.
