Commission

[Project No. 2114–032]

Public Utility District No. 2 of Grant

County; Notice of Availability of Draft

Environmental Assessment

July 24, 1997.

A draft environmental assessment

(DEA) is available for public review.

The DEA was prepared for the Public

Utility District No. 2 of Grant County

(licensee) application to replace the

turbines at its Wanapum Development.

In summary, the DEA examines the

environmental impacts of two

alternatives for replacing the turbines at

the Wanapum Development: (1)

Licensee’s proposed action: replacement

of 10 Kaplan turbines; and (2) no-action.

These alternatives are described in

detail on pages one and two of the DEA.

The DEA recommends approval of the

licensee’s request to replace the

Wanapum turbines as proposed. The

DEA concludes that implementation of

this alternative would not constitute a

major federal action significantly

affecting the quality of the human

environment.

This DEA was written by staff in the

Office of Hydropower Licensing (OHL).

As such, the DEA is OHL staff’s

preliminary analysis of FWS’s

recommendation for turbine

replacement at the Priest Rapids Project.

No final conclusions have been made by

the Commission regarding this matter.

Should you wish to provide

comments on the DEA, they should be

filed within 30 days from the date of

this notice. Comments should be

addressed to: Ms. Lois D. Cashell,

Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory

Commission, 888 First Street, NE.,
