Safe Harbor Water Power Corporation; Notice of Availability of Environmental Assessment

July 10, 1998.

In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission's) regulations, 18 CFR part 380 (Order 486, 52 F.R. 47897), the Commission's Office of Hydropower Licensing has reviewed the application for license amendment for the Safe Harbor Hydroelectric Project, No. 10255-020. The Safe Harbor Project is located on the Susquehanna River in York and Lancaster Counties, Pennsylvania. The licensee is proposing to raise the normal maximum forebay elevation by 0.8 ft., from Elevation 227.2 ft. to Elevation 228.0 ft. Raising the forebay elevation can be completed operationally, and would not require any modifications to project structures. A Draft Environmental Assessment (DEA) was prepared, and the DEA finds that approproving the amendment application would not constitute a major federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment.

Copies of the DEA are available for review in the Commission's Reference and Information Center, Room 2A, 888 First Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20426.

Please submit any comments within 30 days from the date of this notice. Any comments, conclusions, or recommendations that draw upon studies, reports, or other working papers of substance should be supported by appropriate documentation.

Comments should be addressed to David P. Boergers, Acting Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20426. Please affix Project No. 6375-006 to all comments. For further information, please contact Ms. Hillary Berlin, at (202) 219-0038. David P. Boergers, Acting Secretary.
