DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Project No. 2114-117]


Public Utility District No. 2 of Grant County; Notice of 
Availability of Environmental Assessment

July 27, 2004.
    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 FR 47897), the Office 
of Energy Projects has prepared an Environmental Assessment (EA) for an 
amendment application requesting Commission approval to replace 10 
turbines at the Wanapum development with 10 new, upgraded turbines. The 
Wanapum development is part of the Priest Rapids Project. The project 
is located on the Columbia River in Grant, Yakima, Kittitas, Douglas, 
Benton, and Chelan counties, Washington, and occupies federal lands.
    The EA contains staff's analysis of the potential environmental 
impacts associated with the installation of 10 new advance turbines and 
concludes that the proposed amendment would not constitute a major 
Federal action that would significantly affect the quality of the human 
environment.
    A copy of the EA is attached to the July 23, 2004, Commission Order 
titled ``Order Modifying and Approving Amendment of License Application 
and Revising Annual Charges,'' which is available for review and 
reproduction at the Commission's Public Reference Room, located at 888 
First Street, NE., Room 2A, Washington, DC 20426. The EA may also be 
viewed on the Commission's Web site at http://www.ferc.gov using the 
``eLibrary'' link. Enter the docket number (prefaced by
