Moon Lake Electric Association, Inc.;
Notice of Availability of Environmental
Assessment
[FR Doc. 2022–21765 Filed 10–5–22; 8:45 am]
In accordance with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 and
the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission’s (Commission or FERC)
regulations, 18 Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR) part 380, Commission
staff reviewed Moon Lake Electric
Association, Inc.’s application to
surrender the project license of the
Yellowstone Hydroelectric Project No.
1773 and have prepared an
Environmental Assessment (EA). The
licensee proposes to surrender the
license for the project and
decommission the project facilities,
which includes removing the project
dam, abutments, and penstock. The
licensee would also restore the reach of
the Yellowstone River affected by the
dam and reservoir by using sediments to
rebuild the channel, and reclaim upland
areas disturbed. The project is located
on the Yellowstone River in Duchesne
County, Utah, within the Ashley
National Forest, administered by the
U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Forest
Service, and within the Uintah and
Ouray Reservations.
The EA contains Commission staff’s
analysis of the potential environmental
effects of the proposed surrender of the
project license, and concludes that, with
appropriate environmental protective
measures, it would not constitute a
major federal action that would
significantly affect the quality of the
human environment.
The Commission provides all
interested persons with an opportunity
to view and/or print the EA via the
internet through the Commission’s
Home Page (https://www.ferc.gov) using
the ‘‘eLibrary’’ link. Enter the docket
number, excluding the last three digits
in the docket number field, to access the
document. For assistance, contact FERC
