DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Project No. 2901-008; Project No. 2902-009 Virginia]
Nekoosa Packaging Corporation; Notice of Availability of Draft
Environmental Assessment
January 31, 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 application for license for the Big
Island Hydroelectric Project and the Holcomb Rock Hydroelectric
Project, located on the James River in Bedford and Amherst Counties,
Virginia, and has prepared a Draft Environmental Assessment (DEA) for
the project. No federal lands or Indian reservations are occupied by
project works or located within the project boundary.
The DEA contains the staff's analysis of the potential
environmental impacts of the project and concludes that licensing the
project, with appropriate environmental protective measures, would not
constitute a major federal action that would significantly affect the
quality of the human environment.
Copies of the DEA are available for review at the Commission's
Public Reference Room, located at 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC
20426, or by calling (202) 208-1371. The DEA may be viewed on the web
at http://www.ferc.fed.us/online/rims.htm (call (202) 208-2222 for
assistance).
Any comments should be filed within 30 days from the date of this
notice and should be addressed to David P. Boergers, Secretary, Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC
20426. Please affix Project No. 2901-008 and Project No. 2902-009 to
all comments. Comments and protests may be filed electronically via the
internet in lieu of paper. See, 18 CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the
instructions on the Commission's web site at http://www.ferc.fed.us/
efi/doorbell.htm.
For further information, contact James T. Griffin at (202) 219-2799
