Public Participation and Scoping

Meetings

You can make a difference by sending

a letter with your specific comments or

concerns about the project. You should

focus on the potential environmental

effects of the proposal, alternatives to

the proposal (including alternative

sites), and measures to avoid or lessen

environmental impact. The more

specific your comments, the more useful

they will be. Please follow the

instructions below to ensure that your

comments are received and properly

recorded:

Becoming an Intervenor

In addition to involvement in the EIS

process, you may want to become an

official party to the proceedings or an

‘‘intervenor.’’ Among other things,

intervenors have the right to receive

copies of case-related FERC documents

and filings by other intervenors.

Likewise, each intervenor must provide

copies of its filings to all other parties.

If you want to become an intervenor,

you must file a Motion To Intervene

according to Rule 214 of FERC’s Rules

of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR

385.214) which is attached as appendix

B.

The date for filing of timely motions

to intervene in this proceeding has

passed. Therefore, parties now seeking

to file late interventions must show

good cause, as required by section

385.214(b)(3), why this time limitation

should be waived. Environmental issues

have been viewed as good cause for late

intervention. You do not need

intervenor status to have your scoping

comments considered.

Environmental Mailing List

This notice is being sent to all

potential interested parties to solicit

focused comments regarding

environmental considerations related to

the proposed project. As details of the

project become established,

representatives of EcoElectrica will

directly contact communities, and

public agencies concerning any other

matters, including acquisition of

permits and rights-of-way.

If you do not want to send comments

at this time but still want to keep

informed and receive copies of the

Draft/Preliminary and Final EIS, please

return the Information Request

(appendix C). If you do not return the

Information Request, you will be taken

off the mailing list.

Additional information about the

proposed project is available from Mr.

Chris Zerby, FERC Project Manager, at

(202) 208–0111. Information concerning

the involvement of the Puerto Rico

Planning Board can be obtained from

Dewey B. Smith; Notice of Availability

of Environmental Assessment

March 14, 1995.

An environmental assessment (EA) is

available for public review. The EA is

for the termination of the license of the

EA finds that termination of the license

would not constitute a major federal

action significantly affecting the quality

of the human environment. The Dewey

Smith Project is located on the Shasta

River in Siskiyou County, California.

The EA was prepared 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, Room 3308, 941

North Capitol Street, NE., Washington,

DC 20426. Copies can also be obtained

by calling the project manager listed

of substance should be supported by
