Hydro Matrix Partnership, Ltd; Notice of Availability of Draft 
Environmental Assessment

December 31, 1996.
    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 F.R. 47897), the Office 
of Hydropower Licensing has reviewed the application for license for 
the proposed Jordan Hydroelectric Project, located on the Haw River, 
Chatham County, North Carolina, and has prepared a Draft Environmental 
Assessment (DEA) for the project. In the DEA, the Commission's staff 
has analyzed the potential environmental impacts of the project and has 
concluded that approval of the project, with appropriate mitigation 
measures, would not constitute a major federal action significantly 
affecting the quality of the human environment.
    Copies of the DEA are available for review in the Public Reference 
Branch, Room 2A, of the Commission's offices at
