Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Project Nos. 12757-008, 12758-008]
BOST4 Hydroelectric LLC, BOST5 Hydroelectric LLC; 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 BOST4
Hydroelectric LLC and BOST 5 Hydroelectric LLC's (jointly as the
licensees) applications for amendments to the unconstructed Red River
Lock and Dam No. 4 project (No. 12757) and Red River Lock and Dam No. 5
project (No. 12758) and have prepared a single Environmental Assessment
(EA) for both projects.\1\ The licensees are proposing to replace the
licensed single bulb turbine with five smaller bulb turbines at each
project. The total generating capacity of 28.1 megawatts (MW) and water
use would not change from the current licenses. The projects are
located on the Red River in Red River and Bossier parishes, Louisiana.
The projects occupy federal lands managed by the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers (Corps).

\1\ The unique identification number for documents relating to
this environmental review is EAXX-019-20-000-1744018995.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The EA contains Commission staff's analysis of the potential
environmental effects of using an array of five smaller turbines to
replace the single licensed turbine, at each project and concludes that
the proposed amendments, 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-
12757 or P-12758) in the docket number field to access the document.
