Seattle City Light; Public Utility District 

No.1 of Pend Orielle County; Notice of 

Intent to Prepare an Environmental 

Impact Statement 

September 16, 2010. 

On September 9, 2009, the City of 

Seattle, Washington (City) filed an 

application for a new license for the 

continued operation of the 1,003- 

megawatt Boundary Hydroelectric 

Project (FERC No. 2144). On March 29, 

2010, the City and the Public Utility 

District No. 1 of Pend Oreille, County, 

Washington (District) filed a joint 

comprehensive settlement agreement 

(Settlement), explanatory statement and 

a request to consolidate the processing 

of the City’s relicensing of the Boundary 

Hydroelectric Project No. 2144–038, and 

the District’s surrender of its license for 

the Sullivan Creek Hydroelectric Project 

No. 2225–013. On April 2, 2010, the 

District filed an application to surrender 

the Sullivan Creek Project. Parts of both 

projects occupy lands within the 

Colville National Forest. 

In accordance with the National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and 

the Commission’s regulations, 

Commission staff held public scoping 

meetings for the relicensing of the 

Boundary Project on July 18 and 19, 

2006 in Spokane and Metaline Falls, 

Washington, respectively. On May 11, 

2010, the Commission solicited scoping 

comments on the surrender of the 

Sullivan Creek Project and noticed a 

June 10, 2010, technical conference to 

discuss the Settlement and the scope of 

issues to be addressed in a combined 

environmental assessment for both 

projects. Based on the comments 

received at the technical conference and 

in response to the Commission’s July 6, 

2010 Notice of Application Ready for 

Environmental Analysis and Soliciting 

Comments, Recommendations, 

Preliminary Terms and Conditions, and 

Preliminary Fishway Prescriptions (REA 

notice) for both projects, Commission 

staff has determined that relicensing of 

the Boundary Project may constitute a 

major Federal action significantly 

affecting the quality of the human 

environment. Therefore, staff now 

intends to prepare an Environmental 

Impact Statement (EIS) that addresses 

both the relicensing of the Boundary 

Project and the surrender of the Sullivan 

Creek Project. 

A draft EIS will be issued and 

circulated for review by all interested 

parties. All comments filed on the draft 

EIS will be analyzed by the staff and 

considered in the final EIS. The staff’s 

conclusions and recommendations will 

be available for the Commission’s 

consideration in reaching its final 

licensing decision. 

The application will be processed 

according to the following Hydro 

Licensing Schedule. Revisions to the 

schedule may be made as appropriate.

addressing both the relicensing of the 

Boundary Project and the surrender of 

the Sullivan Creek Project; and (2) the 

prior scoping conducted on these 

projects by Commission staff and 

comments filed with the Commission on 

the applications will be taken into
