DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Project No. 2192-022-WI]


Consolidated Water Power Company; Notice of Availability of Final 
Environmental Assessment

March 20, 2007.
    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 an application for a transfer of 
project lands and acquisition of lands at the Biron Project (FERC No. 
2192), and has prepared a final environmental assessment (FEA) for the 
proposal. The proposed transfer of project lands and acquisition of 
lands would occur on the Biron reservoir in Wood County, Wisconsin.
    In the application, Consolidated Water Power (licensee) requests 
Commission authorization to exchange approximately 3.14 acres of 
licensee-owned lands with 3,000 linear feet of shoreline along the 
Biron flowage, for three different parcels of land totaling 
approximately 205.213 total acres. The first parcel has 830 linear feet 
of river shoreline and consists of 47.546 acres. The second parcel has 
126 linear feet of river shoreline and consists of 2.960 acres, 
abutting an existing licensee-owned boat launch. The third parcel 
consists of islands in the river, peninsulas, and a roadside access 
totaling 154.84 acres (48.82 acres above water). These island 
perimeters, peninsulas, and the roadside access total 33,749 linear 
feet of waterfront. All lands are currently within the project 
boundary, and the licensee intends to retain flowage rights over any 
conveyed lands, and to retain all lands within the project boundary. 
The FEA contains the Commission staff's analysis of the probable 
environmental impacts of the proposed land conveyances and exchanges.
    The FEA is attached to a Commission order titled ``Order Amending 
License to Authorize Land Exchange,'' which was issued November 17, 
2006, and is available for review and reproduction at the Commission's 
Public Reference Room, located at 888 First St., NE., Room 2A, 
Washington, DC 20426. The FEA 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) into
