DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory

Commission

[Project No. 11480–001 Alaska]

Haida Corporation Project; Notice of

Availability Of Final Environmental

Assessment

October 24, 2000.

In accordance with the National

Environmental Policy Act of 1969 and

the Federal Energy Regulatory

Commission’s (Commission)

regulations, 18 CFR Part 380 (Order No.

486, 52 FR 47897), the Office of Energy

Projects has reviewed the application

for an original license for Haida

Corporation’s proposed Reynolds Creek

Hydroelectric Project, and has prepared

a Final Environmental Assessment

(FEA). The project would be located

about 10 miles east of Hydaburg, Alaska

on Prince of Wales Island.

On September 9, 1999, the

Commission staff issued a draft

environmental assessment (DEA) for the

project and requested that comments be

filed with the Commission within 45

days. Comments on the DEA were filed

by the Alaska Power & Telephone

Company, National Marine Fisheries

Service, Alaska Department of Fish and

Game, Alaska Division of Governmental

Coordination, Haida Corporation, and

Natural Heritage Institute and are

addressed in the FEA.

The FEA contains the staff’s analysis

of the potential environmental impacts

of the project and concludes that

licensing the project, with appropriate

environmental protective measures,

would not constitute a major federal

action that would significantly affect the

quality of the human environment.

Copies of the FEA are available for

review in the Commission’s Public

Reference Room, Room 2A, at 888 First

Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20426,

and on the web at http://
