DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Project No. 1744-054]
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
proposal to amend the project's license for surrender of license for
the Weber Hydroelectric Project No. 1744 and have prepared an
Environmental Assessment (EA) for the proposed amendment. The licensee
proposes to amend its license to construct three new auxiliary
spillways north of Weber Dam, between the dam and the new fish ladder,
and make additional repairs to modernize the intake facility to ensure
safe and reliable operations through the term of its license. The
project is located on the Weber River near the city of Ogden in Weber,
Morgan, and Davis counties, Utah, and occupies Federal lands within the
Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest managed by the U.S. Department of
Agriculture's Forest Service (Forest Service).
The EA contains Commission staff's analysis of the potential
environmental effects of the proposed amendment 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.
The EA may be viewed on the Commission's website at http://www.ferc.gov using the ``elibrary'' link. Enter the docket number (P-
1744) in the docket number field to access the document. For
