Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Project No. 11480-001, Alaska]

 
Haida Corporation; Notice of Availability of Draft Environmental 
Assessment

September 9, 1999.
    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 Hydropower Licensing has reviewed the application for an original 
license for Haida Corporation's proposed Reynolds Creek Hydroelectric 
Project, and has prepared a Draft Environmental Assessment (DEA). The 
project would be located about 10 miles east of Hydaburg, Alaska on 
Prince of Wales Island. The DEA contains the Commission staff's 
analysis of the potential future environmental impacts of the project 
and has concluded 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 in the Commission's 
Public Reference Room, Room 2A, at 888 First Street, NE., Washington, 
DC 20426, and on the web at http://www.ferc.fed.us/online/rims.htm 
(please call (202) 208-2222 for assistance).
    Any comments to this DEA should be filed within 45 days from the 
date of this notice and addressed to David P. Boergers, Secretary, 
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., 
Washington, DC 20426. For further information, please contact Nan 
Allen, Project Coordinator, at (202) 219-2938.
Linwoond A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
