[Project Nos. 11516-000, 11300 and 11120-002--Michigan]
Commonwealth Power Company; Notice of Availability of Draft
Environmental Assessment
March 29, 2001.
In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission)
regulations, 18 CFR part 380 (Order No. 486, 52 FR 47897), the Office
of Energy Projects has reviewed the applications for original licenses
for the proposed Irving and Middleville, and existing LaBarge Projects,
collectively referred to as the Thornapple River Projects, located on
the Thornapple River in Barry and Kent Counties, Michigan and has
prepared a draft Environmental Assessment (EA) for the projects. In the
draft EA, the Commission staff has analyzed the potential environmental
effects of the projects and has concluded that approval of the
projects, with the appropriate environmental measures, would not
constitute a major Federal action significantly affecting the quality
of the human environment.
Copies of the draft EA are available for review in the Commission's
Public Reference Branch, Room 2A, located at 888 First Street, NE.,
Washington, DC
