k. Scoping Process 

Cascade Creek, LLC (Cascade Creek) is 

using the Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission’s (Commission) alternative 

licensing process (ALP). Under the ALP, 

Cascade Creek will prepare an 

Applicant Prepared Environmental 

Assessment (APEA) and license 

application for the Cascade Creek 

Hydroelectric Project. 

Although Cascade Creek’s intent is to 

prepare an EA, the Commission will 

prepare an Environmental Impact 

Statement (EIS) for the project. This 

meeting will satisfy the NEPA scoping 

requirements. 

The purpose of this notice is to inform 

you of the opportunity to participate in 

the upcoming scoping meetings 

identified below, and to solicit your 

scoping comments. 

Scoping Meetings 

Cascade Creek and the Commission 

staff will hold two scoping meetings, 

one in the daytime and one in the 

evening, to help us identify the scope of 

issues to be addressed in the APEA. 

The daytime scoping meeting will 

focus on resource agency concerns, 

while the evening scoping meeting is 

primarily for public input. All 

interested individuals, organizations, 

and agencies are invited to attend one 

or both of the meetings, and to assist the 

staff in identifying the environmental 

issues that should be analyzed in the 

APEA. The times and locations of these 

meetings are as follows: 

Daytime Meeting: Thursday, June 18, 

2009, 9 a.m., Tides Inn, 307 North 1st 

St., Petersburg, AK 99833. 

Evening Meeting: Thursday, June 18, 

2009, 7 p.m., Tides Inn, 307 North 1st 

St., Petersburg, AK 99833. 

To help focus discussions, Scoping 

Document 1 was mailed May 22, 2009, 

outlining the subject areas to be 

addressed in the APEA to the parties on 

the mailing list. Copies of the SD1 also 

will be available at the scoping 

meetings. SD1 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

You may also register online at 

http://www.ferc.gov/docs-filing/ 

esubscription.asp to be notified via email of new filings and issuances 

related to this or other pending projects. 

For assistance, contact FERC Online 

Support. 

Based on all written comments 

received, a Scoping Document 2 (SD2) 

may be issued. SD2 will include a 

revised list of issues, based on the 

scoping sessions. 

Objectives 

At the scoping meetings, the staff will: 

(1) Summarize the environmental issues 

tentatively identified for analysis in the 

APEA; (2) solicit from the meeting 

participants all available information, 

especially quantifiable data, on the 

resources at issue; (3) encourage 

statements from experts and the public 

on issues that should be analyzed in the 

APEA, including viewpoints in 

opposition to, or in support of, the 

staff’s preliminary views; (4) determine 

26388 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 104 / Tuesday, June 2, 2009 / Notices 

the resource issues to be addressed in 

the APEA; and (5) identify those issues 

that require a detailed analysis, as well 

as those issues that do not require a 

detailed analysis. 

Procedures 

The meetings will be recorded by a 

stenographer and will become part of 

the formal record of the Commission 

proceeding on the project. 

Individuals, organizations, and 

agencies with environmental expertise 

and concerns are encouraged to attend 

the meetings and to assist Cascade Creek 

in defining and clarifying the issues to 

be addressed in the APEA.
