[Project No. 2452-236]


Consumers Energy 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 Consumer Energy Company's application for a non-capacity 
amendment of the license for the Hardy Hydroelectric Project No. 2452 
(project) and have prepared an Environmental Assessment (EA). The 
licensee proposes amending the license to upgrade project features and 
improve dam safety. As proposed, the licensee would improve dam safety 
by: (1) temporarily drawing down the project reservoir to facilitate 
construction; (2) replacing the auxiliary spillway; (3) widening the 
road that traverses the dam crest; and (4) replacing the dam's existing 
splash wall. The 30.0-megawatt project is on the Muskegon River in 
Newaygo and Mecosta counties, Michigan. The project does not occupy 
federal lands.
    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="https://www.ferc.gov">https://www.ferc.gov</a>) using the ``eLibrary'' link. Enter the
