Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Project No. 1971–079] 

Idaho Power Company; Notice of Intent 

To Prepare a Supplemental 

Environmental Impact Statement 

On July 21, 2003, Idaho Power 

Company (Idaho Power) filed an 

application for a new license for the 

Hells Canyon Project,1 FERC No. 1971. 

The project is located on the Snake 

River in Washington and Adams 

Counties, Idaho, and Wallowa and 

Baker Counties, Oregon. The Hells 

Canyon Project consists of three 

developments (dams, reservoirs, and 

powerhouses) on the segment of the 

Snake River forming the border between 

Idaho and Oregon.2 The three 

developments are Brownlee, Oxbow, 

and Hells Canyon, which combined 

provide 1,167 megawatts of power 

generating capacity and 6,562,244 

megawatt hours of electricity annually. 

The project occupies approximately 

5,640 acres of federal land, including 

land managed by the U.S. Bureau of 

Land Management and the U.S. Forest 

Service. 

On August 31, 2007, the Commission 

issued a final Environmental Impact 

Statement (EIS) for the Hells Canyon 

Project. On December 30, 2019, Idaho 

Power filed an Offer of Settlement 

(settlement) with the Commission for 

the Hells Canyon Project.3 The 

settlement, which was executed on 

April 22, 2019, includes, among other 

items, spring Chinook salmon and 

summer steelhead fish passage 

measures. In addition, the Oregon and 

Idaho Departments of Environmental 

Quality each issued a water quality 

certification under section 401 of the 

Clean Water Act for the Hells Canyon 

Project on May 24, 2019. 

On July 1, 2020, Idaho Power 

supplemented the final license 

application for the project with 

additional information on its proposal, 

including an analysis of the new and 

revised fish-related protection, 

mitigation, and enhancement measures 

proposed under the settlement, and 

updated information on project 

resources. Additionally, Idaho Power 

filed on October 14, 2020, draft 

biological assessments for species 

managed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife 

Service and the National Marine 

Fisheries Service, which included an 

analysis of the effects of the new and 

revised measures on fish and wildlife 

listed under the Endangered Species 

Act. 

In order to assess the new and revised 

fish-related protection, mitigation, and 

enhancement measures proposed under 

the settlement, the Oregon and Idaho 

water quality certificates, and the draft 

biological assessments, Commission 

staff intends to prepare a draft and final 

supplemental EIS in accordance with 

the National Environmental Policy Act. 

The supplemental EIS will describe and 

evaluate the effects of the proposed 

action and alternatives. The focus of the 

supplemental EIS will be on the new 

and revised measures proposed by the 

settlement, the conditions contained in 

the Oregon and Idaho water quality 

certificates, and the information 

provided in the draft biological 

assessments. For the resource areas not 

affected by the new and revised 

proposed measures or new 

environmental information, the 

supplemental EIS will either include or 

incorporate by reference analyses from 

the Commission’s final EIS. 

With this notice, we are reinitiating 

informal consultation with the U.S. Fish 

and Wildlife Service and the National 

Marine Fisheries Service under section 

7 of the Endangered Species Act and the 

joint agency regulations thereunder at 

50 CFR part 402. 

The draft supplemental EIS will be 

sent to all persons and entities on the 

Commission’s service and mailing lists 

for the Hells Canyon Project. Recipients 

will then have 60 days to review the 

draft supplemental EIS and file written 

comments with the Commission. All 

comments filed with the Commission on 

the final supplemental EIS will be 

considered in the Order taking final 

action on the license application. The 

application will be processed according 

to the following Hydro Licensing 

Schedule. Revisions to the schedule 

may be made as appropriate.

EIS addressing the settlement; and (2) 

the comments, recommendations, and
