[Project No. 10855-000]
Upper Peninsula Power Company; Notice of Availability of
Environmental Assessment
September 17, 2009.
In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's regulations, 18 CFR part
380, Commission staff have prepared an environmental assessment (EA)
regarding Upper Peninsula Power Company's request to replace the
penstock at the McClure development of the Dead River Hydroelectric
Project (FERC No. 10855) located on the Dead River in Marquette County,
Michigan.
The EA contains the Commission staff's analysis of the potential
environmental effects of the proposed replacement of the McClure
Penstock and concludes that the proposed penstock replacement, 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 EA are available for review in the Public Reference
Room 2-A of the Commission's offices at 888 First Street, NE.,
Washington, DC 20426. The EA may also be viewed on the Commission's
Internet Web site (http://www.ferc.gov) using the ``eLibrary'' link.

project is available from the Commission's Office of External Affairs,
