    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission or FERC) 
regulations, 18 CFR part 380, Commission staff reviewed the Grand River 
Dam Authority's (GRDA) application for an amendment to the license of 
the Pensacola Hydroelectric Project No. 1494 and have prepared an 
Environmental Assessment (EA) for the proposed amendment. GRDA proposes 
to acquire, develop, and manage a 540-acre tract of land known as the 
Coal Creek Wildlife Management Area (WMA) and include these lands in 
the project boundary. This area is located along the south side of the 
Neosho River about three miles southwest of Miami, Oklahoma, 
immediately adjacent to the project boundary. Features of the Pensacola 
Project include: a concrete dam; auxiliary spillways; a reservoir known 
as Grand Lake O' the Cherokees (Grand Lake); six penstocks, turbines, 
and generators; a powerhouse; a tailrace; and appurtenant facilities. 
The project is located on the Neosho (Grand) River in Craig, Delaware,

environmental effects of developing and maintaining the Coal Creek WMA
