[Project No. 4285-046]


The City of Logan, Utah; Notice of Availability of Environmental 
Assessment

    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, 
as amended, and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's regulations 
(18 CFR part 380), Commission staff has reviewed the application for 
non-capacity amendment of license, filed May 8, 2015, to replace or 
rehabilitate several portions of the Third Dam facilities that are part 
of the Logan No. 2 Project, which is located on the Logan River, near 
the City of Logan, in Cache County, Utah.
    The project licensee, the City of Logan (City), is proposing to: 
(1) Replace the spillway crest gates with Obermeyer weirs; (2) replace 
spillway abutment walls; (3) armor the abutments of the dam, which may 
consist of a combination of riprap and/or roller compacted concrete; 
(4) replace the penstock isolation gate (radial gate) with an Obermeyer 
weir gate; (5) replace the trash rack at the intake structure; (6) 
replace the low level sluice gatehouse; (7) rehabilitate the upstream 
face of dam; (8) dredge about 100,000 cubic yards of sediment from the 
reservoir; (9) refurbish the electrical generating equipment, which 
includes replacing the existing runners, wicket gates, and associated 
parts that are damaged; (10) recoat the interior and exterior of the 
steel portion of the penstock to reduce corrosion potential; and (11) 
replace the roof and repair the walls of the existing surge tank.
    An environmental assessment (EA) has been prepared as part of 
staff's review of the proposal. In the EA, Commission staff analyzed 
the probable environmental effects of the planned work and concluded 
that approval of the work, with appropriate environmental measures, 
would not constitute a major federal action
