[Project No. 11508–001]

Alaska Power and Telephone

Company; Notice of Intent To Prepare

an Environmental Assessment and

Conduct Public Scoping Meetings and

a Site Visit

June 25, 1998.

The Federal Energy Regulatory

Commission (Commission) has received

an application from the Alaska Power

and Telephone Company (AP&T) to

license the Wolf Lake Hydroelectric

Project, Project No. 11508–001. The

proposed 2.2-megawatt project would be

located on the east side of Prince of

Wales Island along Twelvemile Arm,

near Hollis, Alaska.

The Commission intends to prepare

an Environmental Assessment (EA) for

the project in accordance with the

National Environmental Policy Act. In

the EA, we will objectively analyze both

site-specific and cumulative

environmental impacts of the project,

and reasonable alternatives as proposed

by AP&T, as well as, economic and

engineering impacts.

The draft EA will be issued and

circulated to those on the mailing lists

for this project. All comments filed on

the draft EA will be analyzed by the

staff and considered in a final EA. The

staff’s conclusions and

recommendations presented in the final

EA will then be presented to the

Commission to assist in making a

licensing decision.

Scoping

At this time, we are asking agencies,

native Alaskans, non-governmental

organizations, and individuals to help

us identify the scope of environmental

issues that should be analyzed in the

EA, and to provide us with information

that may be useful in preparing the EA.

To help focus comments on the

environmental issues, a scoping

document outlining subject areas to be

addressed in the EA will soon be mailed

to those on the mailing list for the

project. Those not on the mailing list

may request a copy of the scoping

document from the project coordinator,

whose telephone number is listed

below. Copies of the scoping document

will also be available at the scoping

meetings.

Scoping Meetings

Two scoping meetings will be held to

hear comments on the project that could

assist FERC staff in identifying the
