[Project No. 8732-004-VA]


City of Manassas, Virginia Department of Public Works; Notice of 
Availability of Environmental Assessment

August 26, 1998.
    An environmental assessment (EA) is available for public review. 
The EA was prepared for an application filed by the City of Manassas, 
Virginia, Department of Public Works on December 22, 1997, to surrender 
its existing exemption from licensing for the Broad Run Hydroelectric 
Project.
    The EA evaluates the environmental impacts that would result from 
permanently discontinuing electric generation at the existing 
powerhouse located below the City's T. Nelson Elliott Dam and 650-acre 
Lake Manassas. The document concludes that approval of the application 
would not constitute a major federal action significantly affecting the 
quality of the human environment.
    The EA was written by staff in the Office of Hydropower Licensing, 
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. Copies of the EA can be viewed at 
the Commission's Reference and Information Center, Room 2A, 888 First 
Street, N.E., Washington, D.C., 20426. Copies also may be obtained by 
calling the EA coordinator, Peter Yarrington, at (202) 219-2939.
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
