DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Project No. 2275-050]
Public Service Company of Colorado; 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 CFR part 380, Commission staff reviewed the Public
Service Company of Colorado's application for an amendment to the
license of the Salida Hydroelectric Project No. 2275 and have prepared
an Environmental Assessment (EA) for the proposed amendment. The Salida
Project consists of two developments, Salida No. 1 and Salida No. 2.
The licensee has determined that the Salida No. 1 development is no
longer economical. The licensee proposes to amend the existing license
for the project to decommission the Salida No. 1 development by
removing the Garfield and Fooses dams and reservoirs, pipeline,
penstock, powerhouse, and substation. The Salida Project is located on
the South Arkansas River and Fooses Creek, approximately 6 miles west
of the town of Poncha Springs in Chaffee County, Colorado. The project
partially occupies federal land managed by the U.S. Forest Service
within the Pike-San Isabel National Forests.
The EA contains Commission staff's analysis of the potential
environmental effects of the proposed amendment to the license, and
concludes that the proposed amendment, with appropriate environmental
protective measures, would not constitute a major federal action that
would significantly affect the quality of the human environment.
The EA may be viewed on the Commission's website at <a href="http://www.ferc.gov">http://www.ferc.gov</a> using the ``elibrary'' link. Enter the docket number (P-
2275) in the docket number field to access the document. For
