BOST4 Hydroelectric LLC, BOST5 Hydroelectric LLC; Notice of Availability of Environmental Assessment
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 BOST4 Hydroelectric LLC and BOST 5 Hydroelectric LLC's (jointly as the licensees) applications for amendments to the unconstructed Red River Lock and Dam No. 4 project (No. 12757) and Red River Lock and Dam No. 5 project (No. 12758) and have prepared a single Environmental Assessment (EA) for both projects. 1 The licensees are proposing to replace the licensed single bulb turbine with five smaller bulb turbines at each project. The total generating capacity of 28.1 megawatts (MW) and water use would not change from the current licenses. The projects are located on the Red River in Red River and Bossier parishes, Louisiana. The projects occupy federal lands managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps).
Footnotes:
1 ?The unique identification number for documents relating to this environmental review is EAXX-019-20-000-1744018995.
The EA contains Commission staff's analysis of the potential environmental effects of using an array of five smaller turbines to replace the single licensed turbine, at each project and concludes that the proposed amendments, with appropriate environmental protective measures, would not constitute a major federal action that would significantly affect the quality of the human environment.
