DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Project No. 2157-188]

 
Public Utility District No. 1 of Snohomish County, WA; Notice of 
Availability of Draft Environmental Assessment

May 4, 2010.
    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission or FERC's) 
regulations, 18 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) part 380 (Order No. 
486, 52 Federal Register [FR] 47897), the Office of Energy Projects has 
reviewed Public Utility District No. 1 of Snohomish County's 
application for license for the Henry M. Jackson Hydroelectric Project 
(FERC Project No. 2157-188), located on the Sultan River 20 miles east 
of the city of Everett, Snohomish County. The project currently 
underlies a total of 10.9 acres of federal lands in the Mount Baker-
Snoqualmie National Forest administered by the U.S. Department of 
Agriculture, Forest Service.
    Staff prepared a draft environmental assessment (EA), which 
analyzes the potential environmental effects of relicensing the 
project, and concludes that licensing the project, with appropriate 
environmental protective measures, would not constitute a major federal 
action that would significantly affect the quality of the human 
environment.
    A copy of the EA is available for review at the Commission in the 
Public Reference Room or 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
