City of Tacoma; Notice of Intent To Hold a Public Meeting in 
Eatonville, Washington To Discuss the Draft Environmental Impact 
Statement (DEIS) for the Existing Nisqually Hydroelectric Project

February 15, 1995.
    In December 1994, the Commission staff mailed the DEIS for the 
licensing of the existing hydroelectric project, which consists of two 
adjacent hydroelectric generating facilities in the Nisqually River 
Basin, to the Environmental Protection Agency, resource and land 
management agencies, and interested organizations and individuals. This 
document evaluates the environmental and economic consequences of 
relicensing the applicant's (City of Tacoma (Tacoma)) existing 45 MW 
Alder facility and existing 69 MW LaGrande facility with enhancements 
as proposed by Tacoma, and alternatives to the applicant's proposal.
    The alternatives to the applicant's proposal include: no action 
(continued operation without any enhancement); and Tacoma's proposal 
with alternative operation and enhancements of recreation, fishery, and 
wildlife resources and other measures requested by conservation 
intervenors, agencies, and staff.
    The public meeting, which will be recorded by an official 
stenographer, is scheduled for 7:00 p.m. on Wednesday, March 1, 1995 at 
the Eatonville High School Theater, 302 Mashell Avenue North, 
Eatonville, Washington.
    At the meeting, resource agency personnel and other interested 
persons will have the opportunity to provide oral and written comments 
and recommendations regarding the DEIS for the Commission's public 
record. In addition, written comments may be filed with the Secretary, 
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 825 North Capitol Street, NE, 
Washington, DC 20426 until March 14, 1995. All written comments should 
clearly show the following caption on the first page: Nisqually (P-
1862) DEIS.
