BILLING CODE 6450–01–P

Bonneville Power Administration

Watershed Management Program Early

Action Projects

AGENCY: Bonneville Power

Administration (BPA), Department of

Energy (DOE).

ACTION: Floodplain statement of

findings.

SUMMARY: This notice announces BPA’s

proposal to fund watershed

rehabilitation projects to improve

salmon habitat in floodplains located

throughout the Columbia River Basin in

the states of Washington, Oregon, and

Idaho. In accordance with 10 CFR Part

1022, BPA has prepared this Floodplain

Statement of Findings for the Watershed

Management Program Early Action

Projects. A Notice of Floodplain and

Wetlands Involvement was published in

the Federal Register on May 14, 1996

(Vol. 61, No. 94, pp. 24297–24298), and

a floodplain and wetlands assessment

was prepared by BPA describing the

effects, alternatives, and measures

designed to avoid or minimize potential

harm to or within the affected

floodplain. The assessment was

prepared in conjunction with the

Categorical Exclusion for this project.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Nancy Weintraub—ECN, Bonneville

Power Administration, P.O. Box 3621,

Portland, Oregon, 97208–3621, phone

number 503–230–5373, fax number

503–230–5699.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Potential

floodplain effects would include placing

new structures or materials in streams

that could be dislodged in a flood; and

disturbing existing streambanks and

channels, which would make them

more susceptible to erosion and failure

during flooding until stabilized and

revegetated.

The proposed actions would have

long-term, net positive effects on the

floodplains affected. It is necessary for

many of the proposed actions to be

located in floodplains because they are

actions that would stabilize and

rehabilitate streams and streambanks.

Alternatives to the proposed actions are

no action, or revisions in the proposed

actions that would reduce potential net

negative impacts to floodplains. The

proposed actions would be required to

conform to applicable Federal, State or

local floodplain protection standards.

The following steps will be taken to

avoid or minimize potential harm to or

within the affected floodplain: (1) the

structures will either be engineered to

withstand flooding, or would be natural

materials designed to move downstream

with the floods to create habitat for fish;

and (2) channel restoration,

revegetation, and erosion control and

stabilization actions would be designed

to lessen the impacts of future flooding

on lives and property.

BPA will endeavor to allow 15 days

of public review after publication of this

statement of findings before

implementing the proposed action.

1996.
