[Project No. 13642-003]
GB Energy Park, LLC; Notice of Availability of Environmental
Assessment
In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission)
regulations, 18 CFR part 380, the Office of Energy Projects has
reviewed the application for an original license for the proposed 400-
megawatt Gordon Butte Pumped Storage Project, which would be located
approximately 3 miles west of the town of Martinsdale in Meagher
County, Montana, and has prepared an Environmental Assessment (EA) for
the project. The project would not occupy any federal lands.
The EA contains staff's analysis of the potential environmental
impacts of construction and operation of the project and concludes that
licensing the project, with appropriate environmental measures, would
not constitute a major federal action that would significantly affect
the quality of the human environment. Based on a review of the comments
received in response to the issuance of this EA, the Commission may
issue a final EA.
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
access documents. For assistance, contact FERC Online Support at
