Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Project No. 2705-037]
Seattle City Light; 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 Seattle City
Light's (licensee) application for surrender of license for the
Newhalem Creek Hydroelectric Project No. 2705 and have prepared an
Environmental Assessment (EA) for the proposed surrender. The licensee
proposes to decommission and remove most of the project features,
including the diversion dam, and to retain certain features considered
to be historically important. The project is located on Newhalem Creek,
near Newhalem, Whatcom County, Washington. The project occupies federal
lands within the Ross Lake National Recreation Area, managed by the
National Park Service.
The EA contains Commission staff's analysis of the potential
environmental effects of the proposed surrender, alternatives to the
proposed action, and concludes that the proposed surrender 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-
2705) in the docket number field to access the document. For
