Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Project No. 1494-437]
Grand River Dam Authority; Notice of Availability of Final
Environmental Assessment
In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission or FERC's)
regulations, 18 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) part 380, the Office
of Energy Projects has reviewed an application filed by the Grand River
Dam Authority (GRDA) to permanently amend the reservoir elevation rule
curve contained in Article 401 of the license for the Pensacola
Hydroelectric Project No. 1494. The amendment would allow GRDA to keep
water surface elevations in the project's reservoir, Grand Lake O' the
Cherokees (Grand Lake), up to two feet higher August 16 through October
31 each year. The project is located on the Neosho (Grand) River in
Craig, Delaware, Mayes, and Ottawa Counties, Oklahoma.
Staff prepared a Final Environmental Assessment (Final EA) for the
application which analyzes the potential environmental effects of
approving the requested permanent change to the Article 401 rule curve
and concludes that such an approval, with specified environmental
protection measures, would not constitute a major federal action that
would significantly affect the quality of the human environment. A copy
of the Final EA is available for review at the Commission's Public
Reference Room or may it be viewed on the Commission's Web site at
www.ferc.gov using the eLibrary link. Enter the docket number P-1494 in
