Environmental Assessment
dwashington3 on PROD1PC60 with NOTICES
June 10, 2009.
In accordance with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as
amended, and the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission’s (Commission)
regulations (18 CFR Part 380),
Commission staff has reviewed the
Shoreline Management Plan (SMP),
filed March 28, 2008, for the Osage
Project (FERC No. 459). An
environmental assessment (EA) has
been prepared as part of staff’s review.
The project licensee, AmerenUE,
developed the SMP in accordance with
license article 417 of the license for the
Osage Project. The project is located in
Benton, Camden, Miller, and Morgan
Counties, Missouri.
In the EA, Commission staff analyzes
the probable environmental effects of
the SMP and concludes that approval of
the SMP, 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 available for
review at the Commission’s Public
Reference Room, or it may be viewed on
the Commission’s Web site at https://
www.ferc.gov using the ‘‘eLibrary’’ link.

Palomar Gas Transmission, LLC;
Supplemental Notice Requesting
Comments on the Maupin Bridge and
Warmspring Reservation Alternatives
and on a Potential Amendment to the
Land and Resource Management Plan
for the Crooked River National
Grassland for the Proposed Palomar
Gas Transmission Project, and Notice
of Public Scoping Meetings
June 10, 2009.
As previously noticed on October 29,
2007 and July 18, 2008, the staff of the
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
(FERC or Commission) is preparing an
environmental impact statement (EIS)
that will discuss the environmental
impacts of the Palomar Gas
Transmission Project that could result
from the construction and operation of
a new underground natural gas pipeline
proposed by the Palomar Gas
Transmission, LLC (Palomar). This
notice explains the additional scoping
process that will be used to gather input
from the public and interested agencies
on two route alternatives to be evaluated
for crossing the Deschutes River.
During our evaluation of Palomar’s
proposed Project, the Bureau of Land
Management (BLM) requested that
Palomar provide a Visual Resource
Management Analysis of the current
proposed Deschutes River crossing, a
Congressionally designated Wild and
Scenic River with one of its Outstanding
Remarkable Values being scenic. Based
on Palomar’s analysis, the BLM has
indicated the need for FERC to consider
alternatives which avoid crossing the
Deschutes River in a visually sensitive
area. In addition, the Confederated
Tribes of the Warm Springs have
requested that the FERC consider a
pipeline route that crosses their
reservation.
This Supplemental Notice announces
the opening of a limited scoping period
the Commission will use to gather input
from the public and interested agencies,
specifically for the two proposed route
alternatives. One would traverse land in
the City of Maupin and the second

would cross areas near Madras and the
land belonging to the Confederated
Tribes of the Warm Springs areas. With
this Notice, we 1 are specifically
requesting comments on these route
alternatives, referred to as the Maupin
Bridge Alternative and the Warm
Springs Reservation Alternative. Your
input will help determine which issues
need to be evaluated in the EIS. Please
note that this scoping period will close
on July 13, 2009. This is not your only
public input opportunity; please refer to
the Environmental Review Process flow
chart in Appendix 1.
Comments may be submitted in
written form or verbally. Further
instructions on how to submit
comments and additional details of the
public scoping meetings are provided in
the public participation section of this
notice. In lieu of, or in addition to,
sending written comments, you are
invited to attend public scoping
meetings that have been scheduled for
June 29, 2009 in Maupin, Oregon, and
June 30, 2009 in Madras, Oregon.
Details on the meetings are as follows:
Monday, June 29, 2009 at 7 p.m. (PST),
South Wasco County High School,
699 4th Street, Maupin, Oregon.
Tuesday, June 30, 2009 at 7 p.m.
(P.S.T.), Madras High School, 390 SE
10th Street, Madras, Oregon.
The FERC is the lead federal agency
in the preparation of the EIS, and is
preparing the EIS to satisfy the
requirements of the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The
Commission will use the EIS in its
decision-making processes to determine
whether or not to authorize the Project.
This Notice is being sent to
landowners affected by the current
proposed route and alternative routes;
federal, state, and local government
agencies; elected officials;
environmental and public interest
groups; Native American tribes; other
interested parties; and local libraries
and newspapers. We encourage
government representatives to notify
their constituents of this planned
Project and encourage them to comment
on their areas of concern.
If you are a landowner receiving this
Notice, you may be contacted by a
Palomar representative about the
acquisition of an easement to construct,
operate, and maintain the proposed
Project facilities. Depending on the
alternative selected as the certificated
route, Palomar would seek to negotiate
a mutually acceptable agreement.
However, if the Project is approved by
1 ‘‘We,’’ ‘‘us,’’ and ‘‘our’’ refer to the
environmental staff of the FERC’s Office of Energy
Projects.
