[Project No. 2187-042]

Public Service Company of Colorado; Notice of Availability of 
Environmental Assessment

    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, 
as amended, and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's regulations 
(18 CFR Part 380), Commission staff has reviewed plans, filed January 
22, 2014, to replace Clear Lake Dam and the dam outlet works at the 
Georgetown Hydroelectric Project, which is located on South Clear 
Creek, approximately 50 miles west of Denver in Clear Creek County, 
Colorado.
    The project licensee, Public Service Company of Colorado, plans to 
remove the Georgetown Project's existing Clear Lake Dam and outlet 
works, and construct a new roller compacted concrete dam and new outlet 
works in the same location. The work would correct dam safety concerns 
and

minimize potential failure modes, maintain existing hydropower, water 
supply and recreation resources, minimize future operation and 
maintenance costs, and allow the licensee to maintain compliance with 
the dam safety requirements of Part 12 of the Commission's regulations.
    An environmental assessment (EA) has been prepared as part of 
staff's review of the proposal. In the EA, Commission staff analyzed 
the probable environmental effects of the planned work and concluded 
that approval of the work, with appropriate environmental measures, 
would not constitute a major Federal action significantly affecting the 
quality of the human environment.
    The EA is available for review and reproduction at the Commission's 
Public Reference Room, located at 888 First Street, NE., Room 2A, 
Washington, DC 20426. The EA may also be viewed on the Commission's Web 
site at http://www.ferc.gov using the ``eLibrary'' link. Enter the 
docket number (P-2187) in the docket number field to access the 
document. For assistance, contact FERC Online Support at FERC
