    Department of Energy Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
  • [Project No. 2853-073]
  • In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission) regulations, 18 CFR part 380, the Office of Energy Projects has reviewed the application for a new license to continue to operate and maintain the Broadwater Hydroelectric Project, located on the Missouri River in Broadwater County, Montana and has prepared a Final Environmental Assessment (FEA) for the project. The project is adjacent to and includes federal lands administered by the Bureau of Land Management.

    The FEA contains staff's analysis of the potential environmental impacts of the project and concludes that licensing the project, with appropriate environmental protective measures, would not constitute a major federal action that would significantly affect the quality of the human environment.

    The Commission provides all interested persons with an opportunity to view and/or print the FEA via the internet through the Commission's Home Page ( http://www.ferc.gov/ ), using the “eLibrary” link. Enter the docket number, excluding the last three digits in the docket number field, to access the document.
