Commission 

[Project No. 733–010 Colorado] 

Eric Jacobson; Notice of Availability of 

Environmental Assessment 

March 6, 2009. 

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 application 

for license for the existing Ouray 

Hydroelectric Project, located on the 

Uncompahgre River in Ouray County, 

Colorado, and has prepared an 

Environmental Assessment (EA) for the 

project. The project currently occupies 

4.38 acres of federal lands in the 

Uncompahgre National Forest managed 

by the U.S. Forest Service. 

The EA contains Commission staff’s 

analysis of the potential environmental 

effects of the project and concludes that 

licensing the project, with appropriate 

environmental protective measures, 

would not constitute a major federal 

action that would significantly affect the 

quality of the human environment. 

A copy of the EA is available for 

review at the Commission in the Public 

Reference Room or may be viewed on 

the Commission’s Web site at http:// 

www.ferc.gov using the ‘‘eLibrary’’ link. 

Enter the docket number, excluding the 

last three digits in the docket number 

field, to access the document. For
