Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Project No. 2192-022--WI]
Consolidated Water Power Company; Notice of Availability of Draft
Environmental Assessment
May 12, 2006.
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 an application for the conveyance and
acquisition of project lands at the Biron Project (FERC No. 2192), and
has prepared a draft environmental assessment (DEA) for the proposal.
The proposed project land exchange would occur on the Biron reservoir
in Wood County, Wisconsin.
In the application, Consolidated Water Power (licensee) requests
Commission authorization to exchange approximately 3.14 acres of
licensee-owned lands with 3,000 linear feet of shoreline along the
Biron flowage, for three different parcels of land totaling
approximately 205.213 total acres. The first parcel has 830 linear feet
of river shoreline and consists of 47.546 acres. The second parcel has
126 linear feet of river shoreline and consists of 2.960 acres,
abutting an existing licensee-owned boat launch. The third parcel
consists of islands in the river, peninsulas, and a roadside access
totaling 154.84 acres (48.82 acres above water). These island
perimeters, peninsulas, and the roadside access total 33,749 linear
feet of waterfront. All lands are currently within the project
boundary, and the licensee intends to retain flowage rights over any
conveyed lands, and to retain all lands within the project boundary.
The DEA contains the Commission staff's analysis of the probable
environmental impacts of the licensee's land-exchange proposal.
The DEA is available for review and reproduction at the
Commission's Public Reference Room, located at 888 First Street, NE.,
Room 2A, Washington, DC 20426. The DEA may also be viewed on the
