DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Project No. 696-013--Utah]
PacifiCorp; Notice of Availability of Environmental Assessment
August 5, 2004.
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 surrender of the
license for the American Fork Hydroelectric Project and has prepared a
Environmental Assessment (EA) for the project. The project is located
on American Fork Creek, near the City of American Fork, about three
miles east of Highland, in Utah County, Utah. The project occupies
about 28.8 acres of land within the Uinta National Forest, administered
by the U.S. Forest Service, and approximately 2,000 feet of the
project's flowline passes through the Timpanogos Cave National
Monument, administered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, National
Park Service.
The EA contains the staff's analysis of the potential environmental
impacts of the application and concludes that surrendering the project,
with the appropriate environmental protective measures, would not
constitute a major Federal action that would significantly affect the
quality of the human environment.
A copy of the EA is attached to a Commission order titled ``Order
Granting Surrender Application and Approving Project Removal Plan,''
which was issued August 4, 2004, and 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 EA may also be
viewed on the Commission's Web site at http://www.ferc.gov using the
``elibrary'' link. Enter the docket number (prefaced by P-) and
excluding the last three digits, in the docket number field to access
the document. For assistance, contact FERC Online Support at
