Allegheny Hydro No. 8 and 9 LP and

Connecticut National Bank; Notice of

Availability of Draft Environmental

Assessment

[Project No. 3021–048]

December 18, 1997.

A draft environmental assessment

(EA) is available for public review. The

draft EA analyzes the environmental

impacts of installing 15-inch

flashboards on the top of Lock and Dam

9, part of the Allegheny River Lock and

Dam 8 and 9 Hydroelectric Project No.

3021–048. The Commission is

considering requiring flashboards, from

about May 1 through October 31 each

year, to rectify project-induced lower

water levels and associated impacts to

recreational boating in the Lock and

Dam 9 pool. The draft EA contains

Commission staff’s preliminary analysis

that 15-inch flashboards are needed and

installation would not constitute a

major federal action significantly

affecting the quality of the human

environment. The Allegheny River Lock

and Dam 8 and 9 Project is on the

Allegheny River near the City of

Kittanning, in Armstrong County,

Pennsylvania.

The draft EA was written by staff in

the Office of Hydropower Licensing,

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.

Copies of the draft EA can be obtained

by calling the Commission’s Public

Reference Room at (202) 208–1371.

Please submit any comments on the

draft EA within 60 days from the date

of this notice. Any comments,

conclusions, or recommendations that

draw upon studies, reports, or other
