DOCUMENT SUMMARY:
November 9, 2000.
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 applications for new and subsequent licenses for the existing Way Dam, Hemlock Falls, Lower Paint, Peavy Falls, Michigamme Falls, Twin Falls, Kingsford, and Big Quinnesec Falls Projects, collectively referred to as the Upper Menominee River Basin Projects, located on the Menominee River and its tributaries, the Paint and Michigamme Rivers, in Dickinson and Iron Counties, Michigan, and Florence and Marinette Counties, Wisconsin, and has prepared an Environmental Assessment (EA) for the projects. In the EA, the Commission staff has analyzed the potential environmental effects of the projects and has concluded that approval of the projects, with appropriate environmental measures, would not constitute a major Federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment.
