Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Project No. 2035-099]


City and County of Denver, Colorado; Notice of Availability of 
Supplemental Environmental Assessment

    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission or FERC) 
regulations, 18 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 380, Commission 
staff prepared a Supplemental Environmental Assessment (Supplemental 
EA), to supplement a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' (Corps) Final 
Environmental Impact Statement (Final EIS) completed on April 25, 2014. 
The Corps' Final EIS addressed a proposal by the City and County of 
Denver, Colorado (Denver Water) to enlarge its Moffat Collection 
System. The Commission acted as a cooperating agency in the preparation 
of the Final EIS because Gross Reservoir, a component of the Moffat 
Collection System which would be enlarged under the proposal, is also a 
feature of the Commission-licensed Gross Reservoir Hydroelectric 
Project No. 2035. On November 25, 2016, Denver Water filed with the 
Commission its application to raise the project's Gross Dam, enlarge 
Gross Reservoir, and amend the project license. The project is located 
on South Boulder Creek near the City of Boulder, Boulder County, 
Colorado. It occupies a total of 1,056.92 acres of federal lands within 
the Roosevelt National Forest administered by the U.S. Forest Service, 
and lands administered by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management.
    The Supplemental EA analyzes potential environmental effects 
specific to a Commission approval of Denver Water's proposal, including 
amendment of the project license, which were not addressed in the 2014 
Final EIS. Based on staff's independent analysis in the Supplemental 
EA, a Commission approval of Denver Water's proposal, as

mitigated by the environmental measures discussed in the Supplemental 
EA, would not constitute a major federal action significantly affecting 
the quality of the human environment.
    A copy of the Supplemental EA is available for review at the 
Commission in the Public Reference Room or may be viewed on the 
Commission's website at http://www.ferc.gov/docs-filing/efiling.asp 
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 1-866-208-3676, or for TTY, 202-502-8659.
    All comments on the Supplemental EA must be filed by March 8, 2018, 
and should reference Project No. 2035-099. The Commission strongly 
encourages electronic filing. Please file comments using the 
Commission's efiling system at http://www.ferc.gov/docs-filing/efiling.asp. Commenters can submit brief comments up to 6,000
