Commission

[Project No. 11945–001—Oregon]

Dorena Lake Dam Hydroelectric

Project; Notice of Availability of Draft

Environmental Assessment

rwilkins on PROD1PC61 with NOTICES

September 1, 2006.

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 No.

486, 52 FR 47897), the Office of Energy

Projects has reviewed Symbiotics, LLC’s

application for license for the proposed

Dorena Lake Dam Project (or project),

located on the Row River near the city

of Cottage Grove, Lane County, Oregon,

and has prepared a Draft Environmental

Assessment (Draft EA) for the project.

The proposed project would occupy less

than 0.13 acre (5,655 square feet) of

federal land administered by the U.S.

Army Corps of Engineers and the U.S.

Bureau of Land Management.

The Draft EA contains the staff’s

analysis of the potential future

environmental effects of the project, and

staff has concluded that licensing the

project, with appropriate environmental

protective measures, would not

constitute a major federal action that

would significantly affect the quality of

the human environment.

A copy of the Draft 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.

The staff of the Federal Energy

Regulatory Commission (FERC or

This notice announces the opening of

the scoping period that will be used to

gather environmental input from the

public and interested agencies on the

Project. Please note that the scoping

period will close on October 5, 2006.

Details on how to submit comments are

provided in the Public Participation

section of this notice.

This notice is being sent to potentially

affected landowners along the Project

route; Federal, State, and local

government agencies; elected officials;

environmental and public interest

groups; Native American tribes; and

local libraries and newspapers.

With this notice, we 2 are asking

Federal, State, and local agencies with

jurisdiction and/or special expertise

with respect to environmental issues to

cooperate with us in the preparation of

the EA. These agencies may choose to

participate once they have evaluated the

proposal relative to their

responsibilities. Agencies which would

like to request cooperating status should

follow the instructions for filing

comments described later in this notice.

We encourage government

representatives to notify their

constituents of this planned Project and

encourage them to comment on their

areas of concern.

Some affected landowners may be

contacted by a Project representative

about the acquisition of an easement to

construct, operate, and maintain the

proposed pipeline. If so, the company

should seek to negotiate a mutually

acceptable agreement. In the event that

the Project is certificated by the

Commission, that approval conveys the

right of eminent domain for securing

easements for the pipeline. Therefore, if

easement negotiations fail to produce an

agreement, the company could initiate

condemnation proceedings in

accordance with State law.

A fact sheet prepared by the FERC

entitled ‘‘An Interstate Natural Gas

Facility On My Land? What Do I Need

To Know?’’ addresses a number of

typically asked questions, including the

use of eminent domain and how to

participate in the Commission’s

proceedings. It is available for viewing

on the FERC Internet Web site (http://

www.ferc.gov).

A map illustrating the proposed

Project is provided in Appendix 1.3

Terminal and Pipeline Project included a liquefied

natural gas (LNG) terminal and associated LNG

facilities, 116.8 miles of dual 42-inch-diameter

mainline pipeline, and associated pipeline

facilities.

2 ‘‘We,’’ ‘‘us,’’ and ‘‘our’’ refer to the

environmental staff of the Office of Energy Projects.
