Kittitas Valley Wind Project 

AGENCY: Bonneville Power 

Administration (BPA), Department of 

Energy (DOE). 

ACTION: Notice of availability of record 

of decision (ROD). 

SUMMARY: The Bonneville Power 

Administration (BPA) has decided to 

offer Sagebrush Power Partners, LLC, a 

Large Generator Interconnection 

Agreement for interconnection of up to 

108 megawatts of power into the Federal 

Columbia River Transmission System. 

The power would be generated from 

their proposed Kittitas Valley Wind 

Project (Wind Project) in Kittitas 

County, Washington. To interconnect 

the Wind Project, BPA will construct a 

new substation (Bettas Road Substation) 

on the Columbia-Covington 230-kilovolt 

transmission line about 11 miles 

northeast of Ellensburg, Washington. 

This decision to interconnect the Wind 

Project is consistent with and tiered to 

BPA’s Business Plan Environmental 

Impact Statement (DOE/EIS–0183, June 

1995), and the Business Plan Record of 

Decision (BP ROD, August 1995). 

ADDRESSES: Copies of this tiered ROD 

and the Business Plan EIS may be 

obtained by calling BPA’s toll-free 

document request line, 1–800–622–

Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Project Nos. 2165–027] 

Alabama Power Company; Notice of 

Availability of Environmental 

Assessment 

September 9, 2009. 

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 for 

non-project use of project lands and 

waters at the Warrior River 

Hydroelectric Project (FERC No. 2165). 

An environmental assessment (EA) has 

been prepared as part of staff’s review 

of the proposal. The proposed nonproject use is located on Lewis Smith 

Lake in Winston County, Alabama. 

In the application, Alabama Power 

requests Commission authorization to 

permit Silverock Cove, LLC to install 11 

cluster docks (with a total of 74 boat 

slips), a walking trail, and a community 

boat launch within the project 

boundary. These structures would serve 

the residents of Silverock Cove, a 

planned community that is located 

adjacent to project lands. The EA 

contains Commission staff’s analysis of 

the probable environmental impacts of 

the proposal and concludes that 

approval of the proposal, as modified by 

the staff, would not constitute a major 

federal action significantly affecting the 

quality of the human environment. 

The EA is attached to a Commission 

order titled ‘‘Order Modifying and 

Approving Non-Project Use of Project 

Lands and Waters,’’ which was issued 

September 8, 2009, and is available for 

review and reproduction at the 

Commission’s Public Reference Room, 

located at 888 First Street, NE., Room 

2A, Washington, DC 20426. The EA may 

also be viewed on the Commission’s 

Web site at http://www.ferc.gov using 

the ‘‘elibrary’’ link. Enter the docket 

number (P–2165) in the docket number 

field to access the document. For
