    On February 3, 1995, the Commission staff mailed the Clyde River

Lake, Echo Pond, and West Charleston developments; (2) limit pond 
fluctuations at the Newport 1,2,3 development; provide minimum flows in 
the bypassed reaches of West Charleston and Newport No. 11 developments 
and the lower bypass reach of the Newport 1,2,3 development; provide a 
fish passage flow and various enhancements for recreation and other 
environmental resources.
    The subject DEIS also evaluates the environmental effects of: (1) 
The project as proposed; (2) the proposed project with additional 
modifications and enhancements;(3) removal of Newport No. 11 dam with 
and without repowering the Newport No. 11 powerhouse; and (4) the no 
action alternative.
    The public meetings on the Clyde River Project will be recorded by 
an official stenographer. The meeting will be held from 7:00 P.M. to
