DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[ Project No. 12778-004]


Fall Creek Hydro, LLC, Oregon; Notice of Availability of Draft 
Environmental Assessment

    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission or FERC's) 
regulations, 18 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 380 (Order No. 
486, 52 FR 47,897), the Office of Energy Projects has reviewed the 
application for an original license to construct the Fall Creek Dam 
Hydroelectric Project and has prepared a draft environmental assessment 
(EA). The proposed 10-megawatt project would be located on Fall Creek 
in Lane County, Oregon, near the towns of Springfield and Eugene, at an 
existing dam operated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The proposed 
project, if licensed, would occupy a total of 6.53 acres of federal 
land.
    The draft EA includes the staff's analysis of the potential 
environmental effects of licensing the project and concludes that 
licensing the project, with appropriate protective measures, would not 
constitute a major federal action significantly affecting the quality 
of the human environment.
    A copy of the draft EA is available for review at the Commission in 
the Public Reference Room or may be viewed on the Commission's Web site 
at www.ferc.gov using the ``eLibrary'' link. Enter the docket number, 
excluding the last three digits, in the docket number field to access
