DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory

Commission

[Project No. 11591 Alaska]

City of Wrangell (Sunrise Lake Water

Supply and Hydroelectric Project);

Notice of Intent to Conduct

Environmental Scoping Meetings and a

Site Visit

May 8, 1998.

The Energy Policy Act of 1992 allows

applicants to prepare their own

Environmental Assessment (EA) for

hydropower projects and file it with the

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

(Commission) along with their license

application as part of the applicantprepared EA (APEA) process. The City

of Wrangell (City) intends to prepare an

EA to file with the Commission for the

proposed Sunrise Lake Water Supply

and Hydroelectric Project (Sunrise Lake

Project), No. 11591. The City will hold

two scoping meetings, pursuant to the

National Environmental Policy Act

(NEPA) of 1969, to identify the scope of

environmental issues that should be

analyzed in the EA.

Scoping Meetings

The times and locations of the two

scoping meetings are:

Agency meeting Public meeting

Date: ........ Wednesday,

May 27,

1998.

Wednesday,

May 27,

1998

Place: ....... City Hall,

Wrangell,

Alaska.

City Hall,

Wrangell,

Alaska

Time: ........ 2:00 P.M. ....... 7:00 P.M.

At the scoping meetings, the City will:

(1) summarize the environmental issues

tentatively identified for analysis in the

EA; (2) outline any resources they

believe would not require a detailed

analysis; (3) identify reasonable

alternatives to be addressed in the EA;

(4) solicit from the meeting participants

all available information, especially

quantitative data, on the resources at

issue; and (5) encourage statements from

experts and the public on issues that

should be analyzed in the EA.

All interested individuals,

organizations, and agencies are invited

and encouraged to attend either or both

meetings to assist in identifying and

clarifying the scope of environmental

issues that should be analyzed in the

EA.

To help focus discussions at the

meetings, the City prepared and

distributed an Initial Stage Consultation

Document (ISCD) in January 1998, and

a Scoping Document on May 7, 1998.

Copies of the ISCD and the Scoping

Document can be obtained by calling

Mr. Stephen M. Hart of R.W. Beck, Inc.,

the City’s agent, at (206) 695–4720.

Copies of both documents will also be

available at both scoping meetings.

Site Visit

For those who intend to participate in

scoping, the City will also conduct a site

visit to the proposed Sunrise Lake

Project on Thursday, May 28, 1998.

Those attending the site visit should

meet at Wrangell airport at 10:00 A.M.

We will promptly leave for the project

site, via helicopter. Those being shuttled

by helicopter to the project site may

need to sign a waiver of liability

regarding helicopter use. Because of the

remoteness and difficulty of ground

access at the project site, those attending

the site visit should be physically fit

and must wear appropriate clothing and
26794 Federal Register / Vol. 63, No. 93 /Thursday, May 14, 1998 / Notices

footgear. Participants must provide their

own sack lunches.

To plan on helicopter use in advance

of the visit, the City must identify the

number of individuals interested in the

site visit. Therefore, if you intend on

visiting the proposed project site, you

must register with Ms. Christy Jamieson

at (907) 874–2381, no later than May 20,

1998. If inclement weather prevents a

site visit on May 28, the alternative date

will be May 29 at the same time and

location.

Meeting Procedures

The meetings will be conducted

according to the procedures used at

Commission scoping meetings. Because

this meeting will be a NEPA scoping

meeting under the APEA process, the

Commission will not conduct a NEPA

scoping meeting after the application

and draft EA are filed with the

Commission.

Both scoping meetings will be

recorded by a stenographer or tape

recorder, and will become part of the

formal record of the proceedings for this

project.

Those who choose not to speak during

the scoping meetings may instead

submit written comments on the project.

Written comments must be submitted by

June 26, 1998, and should be mailed to:

Mr. Stephen M. Hart, P.E., R.W. Beck,

Inc., 1001 Fourth Avenue, Suite 2500,

Seattle, Washington 98154–1004. All

correspondence should show the
