Project No. 4306-017--Minnesota

City of Hastings; Notice of Availability of Environmental

Assessment

September 26, 2008.

In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as amended, and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission) regulations (18 CFR Part 380), the Office of Energy Projects has prepared an environmental assessment (EA) regarding the City of

Hastings' (City's) request to install two hydrokinetic turbines at the

Mississippi Lock and Dam No. 2 Hydroelectric Project. The project is located on the Mississippi River in Dakota County, Minnesota. This EA concludes that the Proposed Action, with staff's recommended mitigation measures, would not constitute a major Federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment.

Room of the Commission's offices at 888 First Street NE., Washington,

DC. The EA also may be viewed on the Commission's Internet Web site
