DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Project No. 1256-089]
Loup River Public Power District; 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 Loup River
Public Power District's application for a non-capacity amendment of
license for the Loup River Hydroelectric Project No. 1256 and have
prepared an Environmental Assessment (EA) for the project.\1\ The
licensee proposes to amend Articles 404 and 405 and one of the terms
and conditions of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's (FWS) Biological
Opinion (BO), referred to as RPM1-TC1a, to provide for flows in the
power canal during low flow events as well as greater operating
flexibility under Article 405. The Loup River Project is located on the
Loup and Platte Rivers, in Nance and Platte counties, Nebraska. The
project does not occupy federal lands.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ The unique identification number for documents relating to
this environmental review is EAXX-019-20-000-1753110756.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The EA contains Commission staff's analysis of the potential
environmental effects of the proposed non-capacity amendment (proposed
action), alternatives to the proposed action, and concludes that the
proposed action, with staff-recommended measures, would not constitute
a major federal action that would significantly affect the quality of
the human environment.
