[Project No. 620-025]
City of Chignik; Notice of Intent To Prepare an Environmental
Assessment
On March 2, 2026, the City of Chignik, Alaska (licensee) filed an
application to surrender its license for the Chignik Project No. 620.
The project is located on Indian Creek in the City of Chignik in the
Lake and Peninsula Borough, Alaska. The project does not occupy federal
lands.
The Chignik Project has not generated power since approximately
2012. With the support of funding from the Alaska Native Tribal Health
Consortium and the Lake and Peninsula Borough, the City of Chignik has
determined that surrendering the license for the existing project and
developing a replacement water supply line and hydroelectric facility,
under state jurisdiction, is in the best interest of the community. On
January 22, 2026, Commission staff issued an order determining that a
license would not be required for the redeveloped project (194 FERC ]
62,031). A Notice of Application for Surrender of License Accepted for
Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions to Intervene, and Protests was
issued on March 18, 2026. No comments were filed pursuant to the
notice.
This notice identifies Commission staff's intention to prepare an
environmental assessment (EA) under the National Environmental Policy
Act (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.) for the project.\1\ Commission staff plans
to issue an EA by August 25, 2026. Revisions to the schedule may be
made as appropriate. The EA will be issued for a 30-day comment period.
All comments filed on the EA will be reviewed by staff and considered
in the Commission's final decision on the proceeding.
