DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Project No. 2866-008]


Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago; 
Notice of Availability of Draft Environmental Assessment

May 30, 2000.
    In accordance with the National Environmental Police Act of 1969 
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission) 
regulations, 18 CFR part 380 (Order No. 486, 52 CFR 47897), the Office 
of Energy Projects has reviewed the application for a new license for 
the Lockport Hydroelectric Project, and has prepared a Draft 
Environmental Assessment (DEA). The project is located on the Chicago 
Sanitary and Ship Canal, in Will County, Illinois.
    The DEA contains the staff's analysis of the potential 
environmental impacts of the project and concludes that licensing the 
project, with appropriate environmental 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, NE, 
Washington, DC 20426. The DEA may also be reviewed on the web at http://www.ferc.fed.us/online/rims.htm (please call (202) 208-222 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, N.E., Washington, D.C. 
20426. For further information, contact Hector M. Perez, Project 
Coordinator, at (202) 219-2843.

Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
