DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Project No. 6916-011]
City and County of Denver, Colorado; Notice of Availability of
Environmental Assessment
In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission)
regulations, 18 CFR part 380 (Order No. 486, 52 FR 47897), the Office
of Energy Projects has reviewed an application submitted by City and
County of Denver, Colorado acting by and through its Board of Water
Commissioners (Denver Water), to exempt its Strontia Springs Project
No. 6916 from the licensing requirements of Part I of the Federal Power
Act. The Strontia Project is located on the South Platte River, in
Douglas and Jefferson counties, Colorado. The project occupies federal
lands within Pike San Isabel National Forest, administered by the U.S.
Forest Service.
An environmental assessment (EA) has been prepared as part of
Commission staff's review of the proposal. In the application, Denver
Water proposes to upgrade its turbine generator unit, which would
increase the total installed capacity of the project to 1.25-megawatts,
and to convert its license to an exemption. The EA contains Commission
staff's analysis of the probable environmental impacts of the proposed
action and concludes that approval of the proposal would not constitute
a major federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human
environment.
The Commission provides all interested persons an opportunity to
view and/or print the EA via the internet through the Commission's Home
Page (http://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. At this time, the Commission has suspended access
to Commission's Public Reference Room, due to the proclamation
declaring a National Emergency concerning the Novel Coronavirus Disease
(COVID-19), issued by the President on March 13, 2020.
