[Project No. 1864-003]


Upper Peninsula Power Company; Notice of Availability of 
Environmental Assessment

April 15, 2010.
    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's regulations, 18 CFR part 
380, Commission staff have prepared an environmental assessment (EA) 
regarding Upper Peninsula Power Company's plan to replace the spillway 
at the Bond Falls Development of the Bond Falls Hydroelectric Project 
(FERC No. 1864). The project is located on the Ontonagon River in 
Ontonagon and Gogebic Counties, Michigan, and Vilas County, Wisconsin, 
partially on lands within the Ottawa National Forest. The Bond Falls 
Development is located on the Middle Branch of the Ontonagon River in 
Ontonagon County, Michigan, and occupies 73.5 acres of land within the 
Ottawa National Forest.
    The EA contains the Commission staff's analysis of the potential 
environmental effects of the planned replacement of the Bond Falls 
spillway and concludes that the spillway replacement, with appropriate 
environmental protective measures, would not constitute a major federal 
action that would significantly affect the quality of the human 
environment.
    Copies of the EA are available for review in the Public Reference 
Room 2-A of the Commission's offices at 888 First Street, NE., 
Washington, DC 20426. The EA may also be viewed on the Commission's 
Internet Web site (http://www.ferc.gov) using the ``eLibrary'' link.
