Grand River Dam Authority; Notice of Availability of Final 
Environmental Assessment

December 7, 1999.
    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 F.R. 47910), the Office of Hydropower Licensing 
has prepared a final environmental assessment (FEA) for Grand River Dam 
Authority's proposal to permit Dennis Blakemore, d/b/a Honey Creek 
Landing, to modify an existing commercial marina facility located on 
Grand Lake's Honey Creek adjacent to the Honey Creek Bridge (US Highway 
59). The proposed modifications include, but are not limited to, the 
relocation of a fuel dock from its approved location, about 845 feet 
from the northern shoreline to a new (present) location, about 130 feet 
from the northern shoreline. Further, the permittee proposed to replace 
four existing boat slips with a building containing a business office, 
bathhouse, and laundromat. The Pensacola Project is on the Grand River, 
in Craig, Delaware, Mayes, and Ottawa Counties, Oklahoma.
    The FEA is attached to a Commission order issued on November 15, 
1999 for the above application. Copies of the FEA can be obtained by 
calling the Commission's Public Reference Room at (202) 208-1371. It 
may also be viewed on the web at http://www.ferc.fed.us/online/rims.htm 
(please call (202) 208-2222 for assistance). In the FEA, staff 
concludes that approval of the licensee's proposal, as well as various 
alternative actions, would not constitute a major Federal action 
significantly affecting the quality of the human environment. For 
further information, please contact the project manager, Jon 
Cofrancesco at (202) 219-0079.
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
