[Project No. 2413–034]

Georgia Power Company; Notice of

Availability of Environmental

Assessment

July 27, 1998.

An environmental assessment (EA), is

available for public review. The EA was

prepared for an application filed by the

Georgia Power Company, on September

25, 1997, requesting the Commission’s

authorization to permit a water

withdrawal facility to be installed

within the project boundary to

withdraw up to 4 million gallons of

water per day from the project reservoir.

The water will be withdrawn by the City

of Madison, Georgia to be treated and

used for human consumption.

The EA finds that approval of the

application would not constitute a

major federal action significantly

affecting the quality of the human

environment. The Wallace Dam Project

is located on the Oconee River, in

Putnam, Morgan, Oconee, Oglethorpe,

Greene, and Hancock Counties, Georgia.

The EA was written by staff in the

Office of Hydropower Licensing,

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.

Copies of the EA can be viewed at the

Commission’s Reference and

Information Center, 888 First Street,

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

can also be obtained by calling the

project manager, Pete Yarrington, at

(202) 219–2939.

[Project No. 2016–022]

City of Tacoma; Notice of Availability

of Final Environmental Assessment

July 27, 1998.

A final environmental assessment

(EA) is available for public review. The

final EZ analyzes the environmental

impacts of approving a settlement

agreement among the City of Tacoma,

U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and

Washington Department of Fish and

Wildlife (the parties) for the Cowlitz

River Project No. 2016–022. The City of

Tacoma is the project’s licensee and the

project is located on the Cowlitz River

at river miles 52 and 65, near the town

of Mossyrock, Washington.

The settlement agreement among the

parties creates a 14,000 acre wildlife

mitigation area to be managed by the

Washington Department of Fish and

Wildlife. All 14,000 acres will be

included in the project boundary and

managed according to a wildlife

management plan once finalized. The

final EA finds that creating the new

wildlife mitigation area would not

constitute a major federal action

significantly affecting the quality of the

human environment. The final EA was

written by staff in the Office of

Hydropower Licensing, Federal Energy

Regulatory Commission. Copies of the

final EA can be obtained by calling the

Commission’s Public Reference room at

(202) 208–1371.
