5.1 acres of federal land administered by
the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
In accordance with the Commission’s
regulations, on November 9, 2023,
Commission staff issued a notice that
the project was ready for environmental
analysis (REA notice). Based on the
information in the record 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 an Environmental
