DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Project No. 2524-021-OK]


Grand River Dam Authority; 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)

[[Page 68234]]

regulations, 18 CFR part 380 (Order No. 486, 52 FR 47897), the Office 
of Energy Projects has reviewed Grand River Dam Authority's application 
for license for the 260-megawatt (MW) Salina Pumped Storage Project 
(FERC Project No. 2524), located on Saline Creek and the Saline Creek 
arm of Lake Hudson on the Grand River, near the city of Salina in Mayes 
County, Oklahoma. The project does not occupy any Federal lands.
    Staff prepared a draft environmental assessment (EA), which 
analyzes the potential environmental effects of relicensing the 
project, and concludes that relicensing the project, 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 draft EA is on file with the Commission and is 
available for public inspection. The draft may also be viewed on the 
Commission's Web site at www.ferc.gov using the ``eLibrary'' link.
