DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Project No. 1744–054] 

PacifiCorp; Notice of Intent To Prepare 

an Environmental Assessment 

On April 18, 2023, as supplemented 

on June 23, 2023, PacifiCorp filed an 

application for a non-capacity 

amendment for the Weber Hydroelectric 

Project No. 1744. The project is located 

on the Weber River in Davis, Morgan 

and Weber Counties, Utah. The project 

occupies Federal lands managed by the 

U.S. Forest Service, administered by the 

Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest. 

The licensee proposes to amend its 

license to modernize intake components 

at the Weber Dam. Additionally, the 

licensee proposes the construction of 

three new auxiliary spillways sections 

to accommodate recently recalculated 

100-year flood flows. The new intake 

and spillway equipment would require 

the destruction and replacement of the 

current gatehouse and the original, nonfunctional, fish ladder to accommodate 

new screens/trashracks. All components 

would be installed on previously 

disturbed ground, within the project 

boundary. Staging for the proposed 

actions would be partially located on 

lands administered by the U.S. 

Department of Agriculture’s Forest 

Service. The proposed action would 

require temporary closure of some 

recreational facilities, closest to the 

work area, during the construction. A 

Notice of Application Accepted for 

Filing and Soliciting Comments, 

Motions to Intervene, and Protest was 

issued on July 20, 2023. No comments 

were received. 

This notice identifies Commission 

staff’s intention to prepare an 

environmental assessment (EA) for the 

proposed action. The planned schedule 

for the completion of the EA is October 

2024.1 Revisions to the schedule may be 

made as appropriate. The EA will be 

issued and made available for review by 

all interested parties. All comments 

filed on the EA will be reviewed by staff 

and considered in the Commission’s 

final decision on the proceeding. 

With this notice, the Commission is 

inviting Federal, State, local, and Tribal 

agencies with jurisdiction and/or 

special expertise with respect to 

environmental issues affected by the 

proposal to cooperate in the preparation 

of the EA planned to be issued October 

2024. Agencies wishing to cooperate, or 

further discuss the benefits, 

responsibilities, and obligations of the 

cooperating agency role, should contact 

staff listed at the bottom of this notice 

by February 20, 2024. Cooperating 

agencies should note the Commission’s 

policy that agencies that cooperate in 

the preparation of any environmental 

document cannot also intervene. See 94 

FERC ¶ 61,076 (2001).

Participation (OPP) supports meaningful
