By letter dated February 2, 2007 to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, AmerenUE (licensee) affirmed its intention to rebuild the upper reservoir of the Taum Sauk Pumped Storage Project (FERC No. 2277). The Taum Sauk Project is located in Reynolds County, Missouri near the town of Lesterville. The upper reservoir was severely damaged during an uncontrolled breach of the northwest corner of the reservoir on December 14, 2005. The proposed project involves rebuilding the upper reservoir with a concrete-faced, symmetrical, roller compacted concrete (RCC) dam. The work would involve the complete removal of the existing rockfill dike that forms the upper reservoir and the construction of an RCC dam using the existing rockfill as the aggregate. The Commission intends to prepare an environmental document under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) for the Taum Sauk upper reservoir rebuilding project. The NEPA document will be used by the Commission to identify environmental impacts and to identify measures that would help mitigate the impacts caused by construction activities. To support and assist our environmental review, we are beginning a public scoping process to ensure that all pertinent issues are identified and analyzed, and that the environmental document is thorough and balanced. We invite the participation of governmental agencies, nongovernmental organizations, and the general public in the scoping process, and will be preparing Scoping Document (SD) to provide information on the proposed project and to solicit written and verbal comments and suggestions on our preliminary list of issues and alternatives to be addressed in the NEPA document. The SD will be distributed to parties on the mailing list E:\FR\FM\26FEN1.SGM 26FEN1 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 37 / Monday, February 26, 2007 / Notices for this project, as well as other individuals and organizations that we have identified as having an interest in the Taum Sauk Project.

AmerenUE; Notice of Scoping Meetings and Intent To Prepare an 
Environmental Document

February 13, 2007.

    By letter dated February 2, 2007 to the Federal Energy Regulatory 
Commission, AmerenUE (licensee) affirmed its intention to rebuild the 
upper reservoir of the Taum Sauk Pumped Storage Project (FERC No. 
2277). The Taum Sauk Project is located in Reynolds County, Missouri 
near the town of Lesterville.
    The upper reservoir was severely damaged during an uncontrolled 
breach of the northwest corner of the reservoir on December 14, 2005. 
The proposed project involves rebuilding the upper reservoir with a 
concrete-faced, symmetrical, roller compacted concrete (RCC) dam. The 
work would involve the complete removal of the existing rockfill dike 
that forms the upper reservoir and the construction of an RCC dam using 
the existing rockfill as the aggregate.
    The Commission intends to prepare an environmental document under 
the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) for the Taum Sauk upper 
reservoir rebuilding project. The NEPA document will be used by the 
Commission to identify environmental impacts and to identify measures 
that would help mitigate the impacts caused by construction activities. 
To support and assist our environmental review, we are beginning a 
public scoping process to ensure that all pertinent issues are 
identified and analyzed, and that the environmental document is 
thorough and balanced.
    We invite the participation of governmental agencies, non-
governmental organizations, and the general public in the scoping 
process, and will be preparing Scoping Document (SD) to provide 
information on the proposed project and to solicit written and verbal 
comments and suggestions on our preliminary list of issues and 
alternatives to be addressed in the NEPA document. The SD will be 
distributed to parties on the mailing list

assistance.
    Following distribution of the SD, Commission staff will hold two 
scoping meetings on March 12, 2007, to receive input on the appropriate 
scope of the environmental analysis. The first meeting will be with the
