Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Project No. 1971-134]
Idaho Power Company; Notice of Availability of Environmental
Assessment
In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission or FERC)
regulations, 18 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) part 380, Commission
staff reviewed Idaho Power Company's application for a non-capacity
amendment of the license for the Hells Canyon Project No. 1971 and have
prepared an Environmental Assessment (EA). The licensee proposes to
amend the license to replace and rebuild the Oxbow Fish Hatchery
facilities. As proposed, the licensee would remove the Oxbow Fish
Hatchery building, adjacent cooling unit, abandoned raceways in the
northeast corner of the site, the abandoned raceway west of the
existing hatchery building, holding ponds, sorting and spawning
equipment, and a garage/storage building. The licensee proposes to add
the following: (1) a larger set of holding ponds with an open-air
structure covering them; (2) a masonry sorting and spawning building;
(3) a wood-framed hatchery building; (4) a wood-framed shop and storage
building; (5) a surface water intake structure and aeration tower; and
(6) a new visitor kiosk that would include interpretive and educational
information. The project consists of the Brownlee, Oxbow, and Hells
Canyon developments, and is located on the Snake River in Adams and
Washington counties, Idaho, and in Baker, Wallowa, and Malheur
counties, Oregon. The project occupies federal lands administered by
the U.S. Forest Service and the U.S. Bureau of Land Management.
The EA contains Commission staff's analysis of the potential
environmental effects of the proposed amendment, and concludes that it
would not constitute a major federal action that would significantly
affect the quality of the human environment.
The Commission provides all interested persons with an opportunity
to view and/or print the EA 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. For assistance, contact FERC
