Notice of Availability of Environmental

Assessment

November 9, 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 applications

for new and subsequent licenses for the

existing Way Dam, Hemlock Falls,

Lower Paint, Peavy Falls, Michigamme

Falls, Twin Falls, Kingsford, and Big

Quinnesec Falls Projects, collectively

referred to as the Upper Menominee

River Basin Projects, located on the

Menominee River and its tributaries, the

Paint and Michigamme Rivers, in

Dickinson and Iron Counties, Michigan,

and Florence and Marinette Counties,

Wisconsin, and has prepared an

Environmental Assessment (EA) for the

projects. In the EA, the Commission

staff has analyzed the potential

environmental effects of the projects

and has concluded that approval of the

projects, with appropriate

environmental measures, would not

constitute a major Federal action

significantly affecting the quality of the

human environment.

Copies of the EA are available for

review in the Commission’s Public

Reference Branch, Room 2A, located at

888 First Street, NE, Washington, DC

20426. The EA may also be viewed on
