[Project No. 659-013]


Crisp County Power Commission; Notice of Availability of 
Environmental Assessment

January 18, 2006.
    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, 
as amended, and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission) 
regulations (18 CFR Part 380), Commission staff have prepared an 
environmental assessment (EA) that analyzes the environmental impacts 
of allowing Crisp Country Power Commission, licensee for the Lake 
Blackshear Hydroelectric Project (FERC No. 659), to amend the existing 
project boundary. The licensee proposes to amend the Lake Blackshear 
Project's boundary to include a 3.2 acre increase in the lake surface 
area in association with a proposed subdivision on Lincolmpinch Cove. 
The proposed subdivision would include 16 lots and would extend the 
inlet to provide lake frontage to the proposed lots. The extension 
would be created by excavating wetland areas bordering the cove to a 
depth of approximately 4 feet below the normal water surface elevation 
of Lake Blackshear. The licensee proposes to maintain the project 
boundary at the 237-foot msl contour, and extend the boundary along 
this contour to encompass the additional area that would be excavated 
and inundated in association with the construction of the subdivision. 
In addition to excavating the cove area, the developer would dredge a 
4-foot-deep by 40-foot-wide channel from Lake Blackshear to the cove to 
allow water from the lake to fill the cove.
    A copy of the EA is attached to a Commission order titled ``Order 
Approving Change in Project Boundary,'' which was issued on January 13, 
2006, and is available for review and reproduction at the Commission's 
Public Reference Room,
