[Project No. 14513-003]
Idaho Irrigation District and New Sweden Irrigation District;
Notice of Intent To Prepare an Environmental Assessment
On September 29, 2020, the Idaho Irrigation District and New Sweden
Irrigation District filed an application for an original license to
construct and operate the 2.5-megawatt County Line Road Hydroelectric
Project No. 14513 (project). The proposed project would be located on
the Snake River in Bonneville and Jefferson Counties, Idaho. The
project would not occupy federal lands.
In accordance with the Commission's regulations, on July 14, 2021,
Commission staff issued a notice that the project was ready for
environmental analysis (REA notice). Based on the information in the
record, including comments filed on the REA notice, staff does not
anticipate that licensing the project would constitute a major federal
[[Page 54182]]
action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment.
Therefore, staff intends to prepare a draft and final Environmental
Assessment (EA) on the application to license the project.
The EA will be issued and circulated for review by all interested
parties. All comments filed on the EA will be analyzed by staff and
considered in the Commission's final licensing decision.
The application will be processed according to the following
schedule. Revisions to the schedule may be made as appropriate.
