Assessment

An environmental assessment (EA) is

available for public review. The EA

analyzes the environmental impacts of

Grand River Dam Authority’s (GRDA)

application to grant a permit to John W.

Mayes (applicant) to install 9 boat docks

with 84 slips in Grand Lake O’ The

Cherokees (Grand Lake), the reservoir

for the Pensacola Hydroelectric Project.

GRDA’s proposed permit would also

allow the applicant to dredge about

33,557 cubic yards of sediment to

improve boat access from the docks to

Grand Lake. The Pensacola Project is on

the Grand (Nesho) River in Craig,

Delaware, Mayes, and Ottawa Counties,

Oklahoma.

The EA was written by staff in the

Office of Energy Projects, Federal

EA, Commission staff conclude that

approving GRDA’s application to grant

the permit would not constitute a major

federal action significantly affecting the

quality of the human environment.
