[Project No. 696-013--Utah]


PacifiCorp; Notice of Availability of Environmental Assessment

August 5, 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 reviewed the application for surrender of the 
license for the American Fork Hydroelectric Project and has prepared a 
Environmental Assessment (EA) for the project. The project is located 
on American Fork Creek, near the City of American Fork, about three 
miles east of Highland, in Utah County, Utah. The project occupies 
about 28.8 acres of land within the Uinta National Forest, administered 
by the U.S. Forest Service, and approximately 2,000 feet of the 
project's flowline passes through the Timpanogos Cave National 
Monument, administered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, National 
Park Service.
    The EA contains the staff's analysis of the potential environmental 
impacts of the application and concludes that surrendering the project, 
with the appropriate environmental protective measures, 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 a Commission order titled ``Order 
Granting Surrender Application and Approving Project Removal Plan,'' 
which was issued August 4, 2004, and 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 P-) and 
excluding the last three digits, in the docket number field to access 
the document. For assistance, contact FERC Online Support at
