Central’s request is based on its analysis of the existing lands and shorelines around project reservoirs to determine their need for project operation and other project purposes, including public access for recreation. The proposed boundary modification would add approximately 3,400 acres and remove approximately 900 acres, resulting in a net increase of 2,500 acres of additional lands to be included within the project boundary. The project is located on the North Platte and Platte Rivers in Garden, Keith, Lincoln, Dawson, and Gosper counties, in south-central Nebraska. VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:00 Jan 30, 2024 Jkt 262001 The Commission issued a public notice of the amendment application on February 9, 2021, with protests, comments, and motions to intervene due to be filed by March 11, 2021. Several individuals filed comment letters and motions to intervene in opposition to Central’s proposal. In general, these individuals express concerns about private property rights, increased restrictions on private uses, shoreline erosion and control, and/or Central’s proposed flood surcharge determination. This notice identifies Commission staff’s intention to prepare an environmental assessment (EA) for the project. The planned schedule for the completion of the EA is July 2024.1 Revisions to the schedule may be made as appropriate. The EA will be issued and made available for review by all interested parties. All comments filed on the EA will be reviewed by staff and considered in the Commission’s final decision on the proceeding. With this notice, the Commission is inviting Federal, State, local, and Tribal agencies with jurisdiction and/or special expertise with respect to environmental issues affected by the proposal to cooperate in the preparation of the EA planned to be issued July 2024. Agencies wishing to cooperate, or further discuss the benefits, responsibilities, and obligations of the cooperating agency role, should contact staff listed at the bottom of this notice by February 15, 2024. Cooperating agencies should note the Commission’s policy that agencies that cooperate in the preparation of any environmental document cannot also intervene. See 94 FERC ¶ 61,076 (2001).
