[Project No. 12187-000, Illinois]


Price Dam Partnership, Limited; Notice of Availability of 
Environmental Assessment

March 29, 2005.
    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission or FERC) 
regulations contained in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) (18 CFR 
part 380 [FERC Order No. 486, 52 FR 47897]), the Office of Energy 
Projects staff (staff) has reviewed the application for an original 
license for the Price Dam Hydroelectric Project, located on the 
Mississippi River in the city of Alton, Illinois, Wood River Township, 
Madison County, Illinois. Staff has prepared an Environmental 
Assessment (EA) for the project. The project would be constructed on 
the St. Louis District, U.S. Corps of Engineers (Corps) Melvin Price 
Locks & Dam and would occupy about 1.81 acres of Federal lands and 
facilities. In this EA, the staff has analyzed the potential 
environmental effects of the proposed project and has concluded that 
licensing the project, with staff's recommended measures, would not 
constitute a major Federal action significantly affecting the quality 
of the human environment.
    Copies of the EA are available for review in the Public Reference 
Branch, Room 2-A, of the Commission's offices at 888 First Street, NE., 
Washington, DC 20426. This EA may also be viewed on the Web at http://www.ferc.gov. Using the ``e-Library'' link, enter the docket number 
excluding the last three digits in the document field to access the

notice and should be addressed to Magalie R. Salas, Secretary, Federal 
Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 
20426. Please affix ``Price Dam Project No. 12187-000'' to all
