The licensee proposes to amend its license to construct three new auxiliary spillways north of Weber Dam, between the dam and the new fish ladder, and make additional repairs to modernize the intake facility to ensure safe and reliable operations through the term of its license. The project is located on the Weber River near the city of Ogden in Weber, Morgan, and Davis counties, Utah, and occupies Federal lands within the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest managed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Forest Service (Forest Service). The EA contains Commission staff’s analysis of the potential environmental effects of the proposed amendment and concludes that the proposed amendment, with appropriate environmental protective measures, would not constitute a major Federal action that would significantly affect the quality of the human environment. The EA may be viewed on the Commission’s website at https:// www.ferc.gov using the ‘‘elibrary’’ link. Enter the docket number (P–1744) in the docket number field to access the document.
