Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[P-14803-001]
Klamath River Renewal Corporation; PacifiCorp; Notice of
Availability of the Final Environmental Impact Statement for the
Surrender, Decommissioning, and Removal of the Lower Klamath
Hydroelectric Project
In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission)
regulations, 18 CFR part 380, the Office of Energy Projects has
reviewed the application for surrender of license and removal of
project works for the Lower Klamath Hydroelectric Project No. 14803 and
has prepared a final environmental impact statement (EIS).\1\ The
project is located on the Klamath River in Klamath County, Oregon, and
in Siskiyou County, California. The project occupies approximately 400
acres of federal lands. These federal lands are administered by the
U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ On April 20, 2022, the Council on Environmental Quality
(CEQ) issued a final rule, National Environmental Policy Act
Implementing Regulations Revisions (Final Rule, 87 FR 23453), which
was effective as of May 20, 2022. Accordingly, Commission staff
prepared this EIS in accordance with CEQ's new regulations.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The final EIS contains staff evaluations of the applicant's
proposal and the alternatives for surrender of the Lower Klamath
Project. The final EIS documents the views of governmental agencies,
non-governmental organizations, affected Indian Tribes, the public, the
applicants, and Commission staff.
In this notice, we acknowledge the number of pages in this final
EIS exceeds the final EIS page limits set forth in CEQ's Final Rule for
proposals of unusual scope or complexity. Noting the scope and
complexity of this proposal, the Director of the Office of Energy
Projects, as our senior agency official, has authorized this page limit
exceedance for the final EIS.
In addition to publishing the full text of this document in the
Federal Register, the Commission provides all interested persons with
an opportunity to view and/or print the final EIS via the internet
through the Commission's Home Page (<a href="http://www.ferc.gov/">http://www.ferc.gov/</a>), 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 the Commission's Public
Reference Room, due to the proclamation declaring a National Emergency
concerning the Novel Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19), in a Presidential
proclamation issued on March 13, 2020. For assistance, contact FERC
