Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Project No. 11831-095]


 Notice of Availability of Environmental Assessment; Wisconsin 
Electric Power Company

    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission) 
regulations, 18 Code of Federal Regulations Part 380, Commission staff 
has reviewed the application for amendment of license for the Twin 
Falls Hydroelectric Project (FERC Project No. 11831) and has prepared 
an environmental assessment (EA) in cooperation with the U.S. Army 
Corps of Engineers. The project is located on the Menominee River near 
Iron Mountain, in Iron and Dickinson counties, Michigan, and Florence 
County, Wisconsin.
    The EA contains the Commission staff's analysis of the potential 
environmental effects of decommissioning an existing powerhouse, 
constructing a new powerhouse and spillway, and making structural 
improvements to the dam, and concludes that authorizing the amendment, 
with appropriate environmental protective measures, would not 
constitute a major federal action that would significantly affect the 
quality of the human environment.
    A copy of the 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 
the document. For assistance, contact FERC Online Support at 
[email protected] or toll-free at 1-866-208-3676, or for TTY, 
202-502-8659.
    For further information, contact Steven Sachs by telephone at 202-
502-8666 or by email at [email protected].

    Dated: June 28, 2013.
