[Project No. 2225-021]


Public Utility District No. 1 of Pend Oreille County, Washington; 
Notice of Availability of Environmental Assessment

    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission) 
regulations, 18 CFR part 380 (Order No. 486, 52 FR 47897), the Office 
of Energy Projects has reviewed the application for amendment to 
authorize removing Mill Pond Dam by demolishing the dam without 
building a cofferdam to promote sediment outflow and facilitate 
sediment transport to the downstream reaches of Sullivan Creek. This is 
a change from the removal method approved by the Commission in its 
Order Accepting Surrender of License and Authorizing Disposition of 
Project Facilities issued March 20, 2013 (142 FERC ] 62,232). The 
project is located on Sullivan Creek near the town of Metaline Falls, 
Pend Oreille County, Washington. The project occupies federal lands 
administered by the U.S. Forest Service within the Colville National 
Forest.
    The application, filed with the Commission on January 30, 2017, 
contains an applicant prepared Supplemental Environmental Assessment in 
its Exhibit E (pages 13-65). In staff's independent review of the 
licensee's Exhibit E, staff has decided to adopt the licensee's 
Supplemental Environmental Assessment and issue it as staff's 
Environmental Assessment (EA). The EA analyzes the potential 
environmental impacts of the project plus the proposed mitigation 
measures and concludes that granting the amendment to licensing would 
not constitute a major federal action that would significantly affect 
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 and supplement may 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 [email protected] or toll-free at 1-

    A copy of the EA may also be access using this link: https://elibrary.ferc.gov/idmws/common/OpenNat.asp?fileID=14548770.
    You may also register online at http://www.ferc.gov/docs-filing/esubscription.asp to be notified via email of new filings and issuances

2017, and should reference Project No. 2225-021. The Commission 
strongly encourages electronic filing. Please file comments using the
