earth-and-rockfilled structure; (2) the
2,620-acre, 5-mile-long Cooper Lake

Substation to Anchorage.
The proposed project includes all of
the existing facilities described above,
except the 90.4-mile-long, 115-kV
transmission line, which are proposed
for removal because they no longer
serve as a primary project transmission
line. A new dam would be constructed
on Stetson Creek to divert water into
Cooper Lake to provide flow releases for
fish habitat improvements in Cooper
Creek.
o. A copy of the application is on file

proposes to issue one Environmental
Assessment (EA) rather than issuing a
draft and final EA. Staff intends to allow
at least 30 days for entities to comment
on the EA, and will take into
consideration all comments received on
the EA before final action is taken on
the license application. If any person or
organization objects to the staff
proposed alternative procedure, they
