Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Project No. 11480-001 Alaska]


Haida Corporation; Notice of Availability of Final Environmental 
Assessment

July 7, 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 F.R. 47897), the Office 
of Energy Projects has reviewed the application for an original license 
for Haida Corporation's proposed Reynolds Creek Hydroelectric Project, 
and has prepared a Final Environmental Assessment (FEA). The project 
would be located about 10 miles east of Hydaburg, Alaska on Prince of 
Wales Island.
    On September 9, 1999, the Commission staff issued a draft 
environmental assessment (DEA) for the project and requested that 
comments be filed with the Commission within 45 days. Comments on the 
DEA were filed by the Alaska Power & Telephone Company, National Marine 
Fisheries Service, Alaska Department of Fish and Game, Alaska Division 
of Governmental Coordination, Haida Corporation, and Natural Heritage 
Institute and are addressed in the FEA.
    The FEA 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 FEA are available for review in the Commission's 
Public Reference Room, Room 2A, at 888 First Street, N.E., Washington, 
D.C. 20426, and on the web at http://www.ferc.fed.us/online/rims.htm 
[please call (202) 208-2222 for assistance].

David P. Boergers,
Secretary.
