[Project No. 2187-046]


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 Public Service 
Company of Colorado's (PSCo or licensee) application for amendment of 
license for the Georgetown Project (No. 2187) and have prepared an 
Environmental Assessment (EA).\1\ The licensee is constructing a 
temporary stream bypass pipeline to divert up to 200 cubic feet per 
second (cfs) from South Clear Creek around the Forebay Reservoir and 
Dam, ultimately discharging just downstream of the dam. The bypass 
pipeline is intended to address dam safety and water quality concerns 
and support water management efforts. The action would alter how 
required minimum flows are transported and discharged. The project is 
located on South Clear Creek near Georgetown, Clear Creek County, 
Colorado. A portion of the project is located on federal lands 
administered by the U.S. Forest Service (Forest Service), within the 
Arapaho National Forest.

    \1\ The unique identification number for documents relating to 
this environmental review is EAXX-019-20-000-1752151774.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The EA contains Commission staff's analysis of the potential 
environmental effects of relocating the minimum flow discharge area, 
with appropriate environmental protective measures, would not 
constitute a major federal action that would significantly affect the 
quality of the human environment.
