Union Electric Company; Notice of

Availability of Environmental

Assessment

November 5, 1997.

An environmental assessment (EA) is

available for public review. The EA

analyzes the environmental impacts of

approving three non-project lands

applications at the Osage Hydroelectric

Project FERC No. 459. The Osage

Hydroelectric Project is on the Osage

River in Benton and Camden Counties,

Missouri. Its reservoir is the Lake of the

Ozarks. The applications reviewed in

the EA include: (1) A permit to dredge

4,000 cubic yards (cy) of sediment and

construct a new marina, (2) a permit to

dredge 600 cy of sediment and construct

a new boat ramp, and (3) a permit to

dredge 4,500 cy of gravel to reduce

flooding of adjacent properties and

install 500 feet of riprap to protect an

eroding streambank. These permits are

for work in the Gravois Arm, mile 78.7,

and Indian Creek Arm of Lake of the

Ozarks, respectively

The EA was written by staff in the

Office of Hydropower Licensing,

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.

Commission staff conclude that

approving the licensee’s applications to

grant the three permits would not

constitute a major federal action

significantly affecting the quality of the

human environment. Copies of the EA

can be obtained by calling the

Commission’s Public Reference Room at

(202) 208–1371.
