Federal Energy Regulatory

Commission

[Project No. 1494–094]

Grand River Dam Authority; Notice of

Availability of Environmental

Assessment

August 6, 1997.

A final environmental assessment

(FEA) is available for public review. The

FEA is for an application for non-project

use of project lands. The proposed

application involves excavation of a

boat channel for a private residence.

The proposed action further involves

expanding a previously approved

excavation area. The FEA finds that

with the inclusion of specific

recommendations, approval of the

proposed action would not constitute a

major federal action significantly

affecting the quality of the human

environment. The proposed excavation

site is located on the shore of the

Pensacola Project reservoir, Grand Lake

O’ The Cherokees, near Horse Creek, in

Delaware County, Oklahoma.

The FEA was written by staff in the

Office of Hydropower Licensing,

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.

Copies of the FEA can be viewed at the

Commission’s Reference and

Information Center, Room 2A, 888 First

Street, NE, Washington, DC 20426.

Copies can also be obtained by calling

the project manager, Patti Pakkala at
