DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Project No. 2244-022]
Energy Northwest; Notice of Availability of Draft Environmental
Assessment
February 5, 2009.
In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of
1969 and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission)
regulations, 18 CFR Part 380 (Order No. 486, 52 FR 47879), the Office
of Energy Projects has reviewed the application for a new major license
for the Packwood Lake Hydroelectric Project (project), located on Lake
Creek in Lewis County, Washington, and has prepared a draft
Environmental Assessment (EA). In the draft EA, Commission staff
analyze the potential environmental effects of licensing the project
and conclude that issuing a license for the project, with appropriate
environmental measures, would not constitute a major federal action
significantly affecting the quality of the human environment.
A copy of the draft EA is on file with the Commission and is
available for public inspection. The draft EA may also be viewed on the
Commission's Web site at http://www.ferc.gov using the ``eLibrary''
link. Enter the docket number 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-
866-208-3676, or for TTY, (202) 502-8659.
Any comments should be filed within 30 days from the issuance date
of this notice, and should be addressed to the Secretary, Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Room 1-A,
Washington, DC 20426. Please affix ``Packwood Lake Hydroelectric
Project No. 2244-022'' to all comments. Comments may be filed
electronically via Internet in lieu of paper. The Commission strongly
encourages electronic filings (See 18 CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the
instructions on the Commission's Web site under the ``eFiling'' link).
