Ketchikan Public Utilities; Notice of
Intent To Prepare an Environmental
Assessment
On October 27, 2022, Ketchikan
Public Utilities (KPU) filed an
application for a new major license for
the 7.1-megawatt Beaver Falls
Hydroelectric Project (Beaver Falls
Project; FERC No. 1922). The Beaver
Falls Project is located on Beaver Falls
Creek in Ketchikan Gateway Borough,
Alaska. The project currently occupies
478.4 acres of United States lands
administered by U.S. Forest Service.
In accordance with the Commission’s
regulations, on October 10, 2023,
Commission staff issued a notice that
the project was ready for environmental
analysis (REA Notice). Based on the
information in the record, including
comments filed on the REA Notice, staff
does not anticipate that licensing the
project would constitute a major Federal
action significantly affecting the quality
of the human environment. Therefore,
staff intends to prepare a draft and final
Environmental Assessment (EA) on the
application to relicense the Beaver Falls
Project.
The EA will be issued and circulated
for review by all interested parties. All
comments filed on the EA will be
analyzed by staff and considered in the
Commission’s final licensing decision.
