# Michigan Indiana Power Company; Notice of Availability of Final Environmental Assessment
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 non-project use dredging for the Twin Branch Hydroelectric Project No. 2579, located on the St. Joseph River in St. Joseph County, Indiana, and has prepared a Final Environmental Assessment (FEA) for the project. The project does not occupy Federal lands.
The FEA contains the staff's analysis of the potential environmental impacts of the project and concludes that permitting the proposed dredging, with appropriate environmental protective measures, would not constitute a major Federal action that would significantly affect the quality of the human environment.
A copy of the FEA may be viewed on the Commission's website at *http://www.ferc.gov* using the “eLibrary” link. Enter the docket number (2579) excluding the last three digits in the docket number field to access the document.
