Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Project No. 1927-140]


PacifiCorp; Notice of Availability of Environmental Assessment

    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission or FERC) 
regulations, 18 CFR part 380, Commission staff reviewed PacifiCorp's 
application for an amendment to the license of the North Umpqua 
Hydroelectric Project No. 1927 and have prepared an Environmental 
Assessment (EA) for the proposed amendment. The licensee proposes to 
amend the project license to include the construction, operation, and 
maintenance of new pumped storage facilities connecting the existing 
Toketee and Fish Creek developments. The North Umpqua project consists 
of eight developments located on the North Umpqua River and two of its 
tributaries, the Clearwater River and Fish Creek, in Douglas County, 
Oregon and is partially located on lands administered by the U.S. 
Department of Agriculture's Forest Service and the U.S. Department of 
the Interior's Bureau of Land Management.
    The EA contains Commission staff's analysis of the potential 
environmental effects of the proposed amendment to the license, and 
concludes that the proposed 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 may be viewed on the Commission's website at

number (P-1927) in the docket number field to access the document. For
