and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission)
regulations, 18 CFR part 380 (Order No. 486, 52 FR 47897), the Office
of Energy Projects' staff has prepared an Environmental Assessment (EA)

plan for the Smith Mountain Pumped Storage Project, FERC No. 2210. This
project is located on the Roanoke River, in Bedford, Pittsylvania,
Franklin, and Campbell Counties, Virginia.
The EA contains the staff's analysis of the potential environmental
impacts of the proposal and concludes that approval of the proposal
would not constitute a major Federal action significantly affecting the
quality of the human environment.
A copy of the EA is attached to a Commission Order entitled ``Order
Modifying and Approving Shoreline Management Plan'' issued on July 5,
2005 (See 112 FERC ] 61,026) which is available for review at the
Commission in the Public Reference Room, or it may be viewed on the
Commission's Web site at http://www.ferc.gov using the eLibrary link.
