ACTION: Notice of Termination.
SUMMARY: The St. Paul District, Corps of
Engineers (Corps) is canceling the
preparation of a federal Environmental
Impact Statement (EIS) for the proposal
by Wisconsin Power and Light
Company (WPL) to conduct work below
the ordinary high water mark of the
Mississippi River, a navigable water of
the U.S., and to discharge dredged or fill
material into waters of the U.S. to
facilitate the construction and operation
of a 300 megawatt (MW) baseload coalfired electric generating unit, referred to
as NED 3, near Cassville in Grant
County, WI. The Corps has terminated
its review of the WPL permit
application due to WPL’s withdrawal of
their permit application on November
21, 2008.
ADDRESSES: Questions concerning this
termination notice can be addressed to
Ms. Tamara Cameron, Regulatory
Branch by letter at U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers, 190 Fifth Street East, Suite
401, St. Paul, MN 55101–1638, by
telephone or by e-mail at
tamara.e.cameron@usace.army.mil.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms.
Tamara Cameron, (651) 290–5197.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On
January 17, 2008 the Corps published in
the Federal Register (73 FR 3241) a
notice of intent to prepare an EIS jointly
with the Public Service Commission of
Wisconsin (PSCW). Scoping meetings
were held in January and March, 2008
and a notice of availability of the draft
EIS was published in the Federal
Register (73 FR 30099) on May 23, 2008.
In July 2008, WPL modified their
proposal so that work would be done
under and over the Mississippi River,
but not in the River, and there would be
no discharges of dredged or fill material
into any waters of the U.S. On
November 21, 2008, WPL withdrew
their permit application, and
consequently the Corps has decided to
terminate the EIS.
If WPL submits a subsequent permit
application for work over and/or under
the Mississippi River, as detailed in
their most recent proposal, the Corps
