DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Project No. 2195-011]
Clackamas River Hydroelectric Project; Portland General Electric
Company, Clackamas County, OR; Notice of Availability of the Draft
Environmental Impact Statement for the Clackamas River Hydroeletric
Project and Intention To Hold a Public Meeting
June 16, 2006.
In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission or FERC)
regulations contained in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) (18 CFR
part 380 [FERC Order No. 486, 52 FR 47897]) the Office of Energy
Projects staff (staff) reviewed the application for a New Major License
for the Clackamas River Hydroelectric Project. Staff prepared a draft
environmental impact statement (DEIS) for the project which is located
on the Clackamas River, Clackamas County, Oregon.
The DEIS contains staff's analysis of the potential environmental
effects of the project and concludes that licensing the project, with
staff's recommended measures, would not constitute a major federal
action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment.
Copies of the DEIS have been sent to Federal, state, and local
agencies; public interest groups; and individuals on the Commission's
mailing list.
A copy of the DEIS is available for review at the Commission's
Public Reference Room or may be viewed on the Commission's Web site at
http://www.ferc.gov using the ``e-Library'' link. Enter the docket
number (P-2195), to access the document. For assistance, contact FERC
