East Bay Municipal Utility District; Notice of Availability of Final Environmental Assessment

August 17, 1999.

A final environmental assessment (FEA) is available for public review. The FEA is for an application for the Lower Mokelumne River Project (FERC No. 2916) to amend the license to remove Mine Run Dam. the Mine Run Dam was previously used to control acid mine drainage from the abandoned Penn Mine; no hydroelectric facilities are associated with Mine Run Dam. The project is located on the Mokelumne River, in Amador, Calaveras, and San Joaquin Counties, California. The FEA finds that approval of the application would not constitute a major federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment.

The FEA was written by staff in the Office of Hydropower Licensing, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. Copies of the FEA are available for review in the Commission's Public Reference Branch, Room 2A, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426 or by calling (202) 208-1371. The FEA may be viewed on the web at http://www.ferc.fed.us/online/ rims.htm. Please call (202) 208-2222 for assistance. For further information, please contact John K. Novak at (202) 219-2828. Linwood A. Watson, Jr., Acting Secretary.
