    j. On April 13, 2010, Commission staff requested additional 

information from TideWorks, LLC including project operation, water 

velocity, and finfish data in the area of the proposed project. On May 

5, 2010, TideWorks, LLC filed a revised final exemption application in 

response to the requested information.

    Based on a review of the exemption application, additional 

environmental information subsequently filed by TideWorks, LLC, 

resource agency consultation letters and comments filed to date, 

Commission staff intend to prepare a single environmental assessment 

(EA). The EA will assess the potential effects of project construction 

and operation on aquatic, terrestrial, threatened and endangered 

species, recreation, and cultural resources. Because staff believe the 

issues that need to be addressed in its EA have been adequately 

identified, with this notice, we are soliciting comments on our intent 

to waive scoping for the TideWorks Project.

ramp connecting the pontoon float to Bareneck Island; (4) a new 100-

foot-long, 220-volt transmission line; and (5) appurtenant facilities. 

The project would have an average annual generation of about 22,000 

kilowatt-hours. The project would operate in a run-of-river mode using
