DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Project No. 6916-011]

City and County of Denver, Colorado; Notice of Availability of 
Environmental Assessment

    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission) 
regulations, 18 CFR part 380 (Order No. 486, 52 FR 47897), the Office 
of Energy Projects has reviewed an application submitted by City and 
County of Denver, Colorado acting by and through its Board of Water 
Commissioners (Denver Water), to exempt its Strontia Springs Project 
No. 6916 from the licensing requirements of Part I of the Federal Power 
Act. The Strontia Project is located on the South Platte River, in 
Douglas and Jefferson counties, Colorado. The project occupies federal 
lands within Pike San Isabel National Forest, administered by the U.S. 
Forest Service.
    An environmental assessment (EA) has been prepared as part of 
Commission staff's review of the proposal. In the application, Denver 
Water proposes to upgrade its turbine generator unit, which would 
increase the total installed capacity of the project to 1.25-megawatts, 
and to convert its license to an exemption. The EA contains Commission 
staff's analysis of the probable environmental impacts of the proposed 
action and concludes that approval of the proposal would not constitute 
a major federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human 
environment.
    The Commission provides all interested persons an opportunity to 
view and/or print the EA via the internet through the Commission's Home 
Page (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. At this time, the Commission has suspended access 
to Commission's Public Reference Room, due to the proclamation 
declaring a National Emergency concerning the Novel Coronavirus Disease 
(COVID-19), issued by the President on March 13, 2020.
