Eric Jacobson; Notice of Availability of Environmental Assessment
March 6, 2009.
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 the application for license for the existing Ouray Hydroelectric Project, located on the Uncompahgre River in Ouray County, Colorado, and has prepared an Environmental Assessment (EA) for the project. The project currently occupies 4.38 acres of federal lands in the Uncompahgre National Forest managed by the U.S. Forest Service.
The EA contains Commission staff's analysis of the potential environmental effects of the project and concludes that licensing the project, with appropriate environmental protective measures, would not constitute a major federal action that would significantly affect the quality of the human environment.
A copy of the EA 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.
