Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Project No. 2722-008 Utah]


PacifiCorp Power Company; Notice of Availability of Draft 
Environmental Assessment

February 18, 2000.
    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission) 
regulations, 18 CFR part 380 (Order No. 486, 52 FR 47897), the Office 
of Hydropower Licensing has reviewed the application for a new license 
for the Pioneer Hydroelectric Project, and has prepared a Draft 
Environmental Assessment (DEA). The project is located on the Ogden 
River near the City of Ogden, Weber County, Utah. The water to operate 
the project comes from the Pineview dam, via the Ogden Canyon Conduit. 
The dam is owned and operated by the Bureau of Reclamation (BOR). 
However, the 5.5-mile-long flowline is located within the Cache 
National Forest, administered by the U.S. Forest Service (FS). The DEA 
contains the staff's analysis of the potential environmental impacts of 
the project and concludes that licensing the project, with appropriate 
environmental protective measures, would not constitute a major federal 
action that would significantly affect the quality of the human 
environment.
    Copies of the DEA are available for review in the Public Reference 
Room, Room 2A, of the Commission's offices at 888 First Street, N.E., 
Washington, D.C. 20426. This DEA may also be viewed on the web at 
http://www.ferc.fed.us/online/rims.htm (please call (202) 208-2222 for 
assistance).
    Any comments should be filed within 30 days from the date of this 
notice and should be addressed to David P. Boergers, Secretary, Federal 
Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE, Washington, DC 
20426. For further information, contact Gaylord Hoisington, Project 
Coordinator, at (202) 219-2756.

David P. Boergers,
Secretary.
