Flambeau Hydro, LLC; Notice of
Availability of Environmental
Assessment
May 5, 2006.
In accordance with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 and
the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission’s regulations, 18 CFR part
380 (Order No. 486, 52 FR 47879), the
Office of Energy Projects has reviewed
the application for a subsequent license
for the Clam River Hydroelectric Project,
located on the Clam River, 9.5 miles
northwest of Webster, Wisconsin in
Burnett County, and has prepared an
Environmental Assessment (EA). In the
EA, Commission staff analyze the
potential environmental effects of
relicensing the project and conclude
that issuing a subsequent license for the
project, with appropriate environmental
measures, would not constitute a major
Federal action significantly affecting the
quality of the human environment.
A copy of the EA is on file with the
Commission and is available for public
inspection. The EA may also be viewed
on the Commission’s Web site at
https://www.ferc.gov using the
‘‘eLibrary’’ link. Enter the docket
number excluding the last three digits in
the docket number field to access the
document. For assistance, contact FERC
Online Support at
FERCOnlineSupport@ferc.gov or tollfree at 1–866–208–3676, or for TTY,
(202) 502–8659.
Any comments should be filed within
30 days from the issuance date of this
notice, and should be addressed to the
Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission, 888 First Street, NE.,
Room 1–A, Washington, DC 20426.
Please affix ‘‘Clam River Project No.
9185–009’’ to all comments. Comments
may be filed electronically via Internet
in lieu of paper. The Commission
strongly encourages electronic filings.

The staff of the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission (Commission or
FERC) has prepared an environmental
assessment (EA) on the liquefied natural
gas (LNG) facilities proposed by Sabine
Pass LNG, L.P. (SPLNG) in the abovereferenced docket. The Sabine Pass LNG
Terminal Phase II Project (Project)
would be located in Cameron Parish,
Louisiana.
The EA was prepared to satisfy the
requirements of the National
Environmental Policy Act. The staff
concludes that approval of the proposed
Project, with appropriate mitigating
measures, would not constitute a major
Federal action significantly affecting the
quality of the human environment. This
EA evaluates alternatives to the
proposal, including system alternatives
and site layout alternatives for the LNG
import terminal, impact of Ambient Air
Vaporizers, and air emissions.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
(COE), U.S. Coast Guard (Coast Guard),
and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
(FWS) have all participated as
cooperating agencies in the preparation
of the EA.
The EA assesses the potential
environmental effects of the
construction and operation of the
following facilities:
• Sixteen (16) ambient air
vaporization trains (AAV Trains), one of
which would be installed significantly
before the others as a pilot AAV Train
for testing purposes;
• Eight (8) SCV Trains;
• One (1) pilot AAV Train;
• Three (3) LNG storage tanks;
• Two (2) LNG transfer lines;
• Two (2) BOG compressors;
• Two (2) BOG condensing systems;
• Four (4) shell and tube heat
exchangers;
• Two (2) vapor return blowers;
• One (1) simple cycle gas turbine
generator; and

• Two (2) 30-inch natural gas
pipelines from the Project process area
to new main meters.
The EA has been placed in the public
files of the FERC and is available for
public inspection at: Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission, Public
Reference Room, 888 First Street, NE.,
