Crown Hydro Company; Notice of

Availability of Draft Environmental

Assessment

March 3, 1997.

In accordance with the National

Environmental Policy Act of 1969 and

the Federal Energy Regulatory

Commission’s (Commission’s)

regulations, 18 CFR Part 380 (Order No.

486, 52 F.R. 47897), the Office of

Hydropower Licensing has reviewed the

application for major license for the

proposed Crown Mill Project to be

located on the Mississippi River in the

City of Minneapolis, Hennepin County,

Minnesota, and has prepared a Draft

Environmental Assessment (DEA) for

the proposed project. In the DEA, the

Commission’s staff has analyzed the

potential environmental impacts of the

proposed project and has concluded

that approval of the proposed project,

with appropriate mitigative measures,

would not constitute a major federal

action significantly affecting the quality

of the human environment.

Copies of the DEA are available for

review in the Public Reference Branch

of the Commission’s offices at 888 First

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

Comments should filed within 30

days from the date of this notice and

should be addressed to Lois D. Cashell,

Commission, 888 First Street, N.E.,
