DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Project No. 2454-042; New York]


Minnesota Power, Inc.; Notice of Availability of Environmental 
Assessment

March 31, 2000.
    An Environmental Assessment (EA) is available for public review. 
The EA analyzes the environmental effects of proposed changes to the 
project boundary for the Sylvan Hydroelectric Project located on the 
Crow Wing and Gull Rivers in Cass, Crow Wing, and Morrison Counties, 
Minnesota. The proposed boundary changes would result in the removal of 
a total of 20.42 acres of land from the project.
    The EA was written by staff in the Office of Energy Projects, 
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. Based on the environmental 
analyses presented in the EA, the Commission's staff finds that the 
proposed project boundary changes would not constitute a major federal 
action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment.
    The EA has been attached to and made a part of an Order Amending 
License, issued March 21, 2000, for the Sylvan Hydroelectric Project 
(FERC No. 2454-042). The EA is available for inspection and 
reproduction at the Commission's Public Reference Room located at 888 
First Street, NE, Room 2A, Washington DC 20426. Copies of the EA also 
may be obtained by calling (202) 208-1371, or by email at 
[email protected]. The EA also may be viewed on the 
Commission's web site at http://www.ferc.fed.us/online/rims.htm (call 
(202) 208-2222 for assistance).
