Eastern Hydroelectric Corporation; Notice of Availability of 
Environmental Assessment

September 15, 2000.
    An environmental assessment (EA) is available for public review. 
The EA analyzes the environmental effects of increasing generating 
capacity. Eastern Hydroelectric Corporation (EHC) requests approval to 
add a new 1,200-kW generating unit at the East Juliette Project on the 
Ocmulgee River. EHC proposes to reconstruct a building on an existing 
foundation at the west side of the Juliette Dam to house the new 
generating unit and associated power production equipment. EHC does not 
propose to alter the current license requirement that requires a 
minimum flow of 297 cubic feet per second be maintained in the bypass 
reach. EHC proposes to conduct additional studies to investigate the 
feasibility, optimal design, and future construction of a fishway for 
anadromous fish at the Juliette Dam.
    The EA was written by Federal Energy Regulatory Commission staff in 
the Office of Energy Projects. Commission staff believe EHC's proposed 
action would not constitute a major federal action significantly 
affecting the quality of the human environment. Copies of the EA can be 
viewed on the internet at www.ferc.fed.us/online/rims.htm. Call (202) 
208-2222 for assistance. Copies are also available for inspection and 
reproduction at the Commission's Public Reference Room located at 888 
First Street, NE, Room 2A, Washington DC 20426, or by calling (202) 
208-1371.
    Anyone may file comments on the EA. Federal and state resource 
agencies are encouraged to provide comments. All comments must filed 
within 30 days of the date of this notice shown above. Send an original 
and eight copies of all comments marked with the project number P-7019-
050 to: The Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First 
Street, NE, Washington, DC 20426. If you have any questions regarding 
this notice, please call Jarrad Kosa at (202) 219-2831.

David P. Boergers,
Secretary.
