DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Project No. 1417-198]
Central Nebraska Public Power and Irrigation District; Notice of
Availability of Environmental Assessment
July 8, 2008.
In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's regulations, 18 CFR Part
380 (Order No. 486, 52 FR 47879) the Office of Energy Projects has
prepared an environmental assessment (EA) for an application filed by
Central Nebraska Public Power and Irrigation District (licensee) on
February 12, 2007, requesting Commission approval to amend the Land and
Shoreline Management Plan (LSMP) for the Kingsley Dam Hydroelectric
Project (FERC No. 1417). The licensee proposes to reclassify certain
shoreline lands at Plum Creek reservoir (reservoir) from open-space to
residential in order to allow adjacent landowners to apply for
shoreline access facilities. The reservoir is located within the Platte
River Basin in Dawson and Gosper Counties, near the towns of Lexington
and Elwood, Nebraska. The project does not occupy any federal lands.
The EA evaluates the environmental impacts that would result from
approving the licensee's proposal. The EA finds that approval of the
application would not constitute a major federal action significantly
affecting the quality of the human environment.
A copy of the EA is on file with the Commission and is available
for public inspection. 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 (P-1417) excluding the last three digits in the docket
number field to access the document. For assistance, contact FERC
Online Support at FERCOnlineSupport@ferc.gov or toll-free at 1-866-208-
