Grand River Dam Authority; Notice of

Availability of Final Environmental

Assessment

August 11, 1997.

A final environmental assessment

(EA) is available for public review. The

final EA analyzes the environmental

impacts of an application by Grand

River Dam Authority (licensee) to grant

a permit to Mr. Larry Herrelson of

Patricia Island Estates. The permit

would allow Mr. Herrelson to excavate

about 25,880 cubic yards of sediment

from 9 coves on project lands for future

recreational access. Patricia Island

Estates is a planned residential

community being developed in the

Patricia Island portion of Grand Lake,

Delaware County, near the town of

Grove, Oklahoma. The final EA finds

that the application to grant the permit

would not constitute a major federal

action significantly affecting the quality

of the human environment. The

Pensacola Project is on the Grand River,

in Craig, Delaware, Mayes, and Ottawa

Counties, Oklahoma.

The final EA was written by staff in

the Office of Hydropower Licensing,
