[Project No. 2213-009]


Public Utility District No. 1 of Cowlitz County, Washington; 
Notice Of Availability of Final Environmental Assessment

February 25, 2004.
    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, 
as amended, and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's regulations 
(18 CFR part 380), the Commission staff have reviewed plans, filed 
September 3, 2003, supplemented November 17, 2003, and December 10, 
2003, to repair the Swift No. 2 Project's power canal, tailrace, and 
switchyard. The project is located on the North Fork Lewis River in 
Washington.
    The project licensee (Public Utility District No. 1 of Cowlitz 
County) proposes to repair and reconstruct the damage to the Swift No. 
2 Project following an April 21, 2002, partial canal breach and 
washout. Under section 10(c) of the Federal Power Act, the licensee is 
obligated to maintain the project works in a good state of repair. The 
licensee has proposed a reasonable schedule for the work. In the final 
environmental assessment (FEA), Commission staff has analyzed the 
probable environmental effects of the proposed work and has concluded 
that approval, with appropriate environmental measures, would not 
constitute a major Federal action significantly affecting the quality 
of the human environment.
    A copy of the FEA is available for public inspection in the Public 
Reference Room of the Commission's offices at 888 First Street, NE., 
Washington, DC 20426. The FEA may also be viewed on the Internet at 
http://www.ferc.gov using the ``eLibrary'' link-select ``Docket 
'' and follow the instructions. For assistance, please contact 
FERC online support at [email protected] or call toll-free 
866-208-3676 or (202) 502-8659 for TTY.

Magalie R. Salas,
Secretary.
