application for a new major license for
the Tacoma Hydroelectric Project (FERC
No. 12589), located on Cascade, Little
Cascade and Elbert Creeks in San Juan
and La Plata Counties, Colorado. The
project currently occupies, in part, 233.4
acres of federal land in the San Juan
National Forest administered by the
U.S. Forest Service.
Staff prepared a final environmental
assessment (EA) that analyzes the
probable environmental effects of
relicensing the project and concludes
that relicensing the project, with
appropriate staff-recommended
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

and operation of facilities by Natural
Gas Pipeline Company of America LLC
(Natural) in Panola County, Texas.1 The
EA will be used by the Commission in
its decision-making process to
determine whether the project is in the
public convenience and necessity.
This notice announces the opening of
the scoping process we 2 will use to
gather input from the public and
interested agencies on the project. Your
input will help the Commission staff
determine which issues need to be
evaluated in the EA. Please note that the
scoping period will close on November
2, 2009.
This notice is being sent to affected
landowners; Federal, State, and local
government representatives and
agencies; elected officials;
environmental and public interest
groups; Native American Tribes; other
interested parties; and local libraries
and newspapers. State and local
government representatives are asked 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
Natural representative about survey
permission and/or the acquisition of an
easement to construct, operate, and
maintain the proposed facilities. The
company would seek to negotiate a
mutually acceptable agreement.
However, if the project is approved by
the Commission, that approval conveys
with it the right of eminent domain.
Therefore, if easement negotiations fail
to produce an agreement, the natural gas
company could initiate condemnation
proceedings in accordance with state
law.
A fact sheet prepared by the FERC
entitled ‘‘An Interstate Natural Gas
Facility On My Land? What Do I Need
To Know?’’ is available for viewing on
the FERC Web site (https://
www.ferc.gov). This fact sheet addresses
a number of typically asked questions,
including the use of eminent domain
and how to participate in the
Commission’s proceedings. It is
available for viewing on the FERC
Internet Web site (https://www.ferc.gov).
