DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Project No. 14795-002]


Notice of Availability of Final Environmental Assessment; Shell 
Energy North America (US), L.P.

    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission) 
regulations, 18 CFR part 380, the Office of Energy Projects has 
reviewed the application for license for the Hydro Battery Pearl Hill 
Pumped Storage Project, which would be located on Rufus Woods Lake, 
near Bridgeport, Douglas County, Washington and has prepared a Final 
Environmental Assessment (FEA) for the project. The project would be 
located on state lands except for the lower reservoir and power 
generation and pumping equipment which would be located on Rufus Woods 
Lake, a reservoir operated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps). 
The Corps, a cooperating agency for the preparation of this 
environmental assessment, is reviewing Shell's project for permits it 
would issue under sections 10 and 14 of the Rivers and Harbors act of 
1899 and Section 404 of the Clean Water Act.
    The FEA contains staff's analysis of the potential environmental 
impacts of the project and concludes that licensing 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 FEA is available for review at the Commission in the 
Public Reference Room or may be viewed on the Commission's website at 
http://www.ferc.gov using the ``eLibrary'' link. Enter the docket 
number excluding the last three digits in the docket number field to
