DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

[Project No. 8866-013]
Black Canyon Bliss, LLC; Notice of Intent To Prepare an
Environmental Assessment
On February 28, 2022, Black Canyon Bliss LLC filed an application
for a subsequent license to continue operating the existing 24-kilowatt
Stevenson No. 2 Hydroelectric Project No. 8866 (Stevenson No. 2 Project
or project). The project is located on an unnamed tributary to the
Snake River in Gooding County, Idaho. The project does not occupy
federal land.
In accordance with the Commission's regulations, on November 14,
2022, 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
action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment.
Therefore, staff intends to prepare an Environmental Assessment (EA) on
the application to license the Stevenson No. 2 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ The Council on Environmental Quality's (CEQ) regulations
under 40 CFR 1501.10(b)(1) require that EAs be completed within 1
year of the federal action agency's decision to prepare an EA. This
notice establishes the Commission's intent to prepare an EA for the
Stevenson No. 2 Project. Therefore, in accordance with CEQ's
regulations, the Final EA must be issued within 1 year of the
issuance date of this notice.
