DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Project No. 1971-135]
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 CFR part 380, Commission staff reviewed Idaho Power
Company's application for a non-capacity amendment of license of the
Hells Canyon Project No. 1971 and have prepared an Environmental
Assessment (EA) for the proposed amendment at the Oxbow Development of
the project. The licensee proposes to perform maintenance of the
generating units, extend the existing erection deck, and provide an
area of additional parking. The Hells Canyon Project is located on the
Snake River in Adams and Washington counties, Idaho, and in Baker,
Wallowa, and Malheur counties, Oregon. Federal lands administered by
the U.S. Forest Service and the Bureau of Land Management (Payette and
Wallowa-Whitman National Forests and Hells Canyon National Recreational
Area) are included within the project boundary.
The EA contains Commission staff's analysis of the potential
environmental effects of the proposed maintenance of the generating
units and associated activities at the Oxbow Development, alternatives
to the proposed action, 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-
