Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Project No. 2307-083]


Alaska Electric Light & Power Company; Notice of Availability of 
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 reviewed Alaska Electric Light and Power Company's application 
for an amendment to the license of the Annex Creek and Salmon Creek 
Hydroelectric Project No. 2307 and have prepared an Environmental 
Assessment (EA). The licensee proposes to replace the aging Annex Creek 
penstock. The valvehouse would also be expanded to include an automated 
valve and controls located immediately downstream of the originally 
manually operated gate valve. The project is located on Annex and 
Salmon Creeks in the City and Borough of Juneau, Alaska. The project 
occupies federal lands within the Tongass National Forest administered 
by the U.S. Forest Service.
    The EA contains Commission staff's analysis of the potential 
environmental effects of the proposed amendment to the license, and 
concludes that the proposed amendment, 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 may be viewed on the Commission's website at 
http://www.ferc.gov using the ``elibrary'' link. Enter the docket 
number (P-2307) in the docket number field to access the document. At 
this time, the Commission has suspended access to the Commission's 
Public Reference Room, due to the proclamation declaring a National 
Emergency concerning the Novel Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19), issued 
by the President on March 13, 2020. For assistance, contact FERC Online
