DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Project No. 2277]

 
AmerenUE; Notice of Availability of Final Environmental 
Assessment

August 14, 2007.
    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission or FERC) 
regulations contained in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) (18 CFR 
Part 380), the Office of Energy Projects has prepared a Final 
Environmental Assessment (FEA) regarding AmerenUE's request to rebuild 
the upper reservoir of the Taum Sauk Pumped Storage Project (FERC No. 
2277), located on the East Fork Black River, in Reynolds County, 
Missouri. The FEA analyzes the environmental effects of the 
reconstruction of the upper reservoir and contains measures to minimize 
those effects. The FEA concludes that the proposed reconstruction, with 
recommended mitigation measures, would not constitute a major federal 
action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment.
    A copy of the FEA 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 e-Library link. Enter the docket 

number ``P-2277'' in the docket number field to access the document. 
For assistance, call (202) 502-8222 or (202) 502-8659 (for TTY).
    For further information regarding this notice, please contact 
Thomas LoVullo at (202) 502-8900.

Kimberly D. Bose,
Secretary.
