DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
In accordance with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 and
the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission’s regulations, the Office of
Energy Projects has reviewed the
application requesting the
Commission’s authorization to
surrender the license for the Brown
Bridge Project (FERC Project No. 2978)
and exemptions for the Boardman Dam
Project (FERC Project No. 2979) and the
Sabin Dam Project (FERC Project No.
2980). These projects are located on the
Boardman River in Grand Traverse
County, Michigan. An environmental
assessment (EA) has been prepared.
In the EA, the Commission’s staff
concludes that approval of the subject
surrender of license and exemptions
would not produce any significant
adverse environmental impacts,
consequently the proposal would not
constitute a major federal action
significantly affecting the quality of the
human environment.
