DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Project No. 2322-069]
Brookfield White Pine Hydro LLC; Notice of Availability of Draft
Environmental Assessment and Revised Procedural Schedule
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 license for the Shawmut Hydroelectric
Project, located on the Kennebec River in Kennebec and Somerset
Counties, Maine, and has prepared a Draft Environmental Assessment
(DEA) for the project. No federal land is occupied by project works or
located within the project boundary.
The DEA 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 EA via the internet through the Commission's
Home Page (<a href="http://www.ferc.gov/">http://www.ferc.gov/</a>), using the ``eLibrary'' link. Enter
the docket number, excluding the last three digits in the docket number
field, to access the document. At this time, the Commission has
suspended access to the Commission's Public Reference Room, due to the
proclamation declaring a National Emergency concerning the Novel
Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19), issued by the President on March 13,
2020. For assistance, contact FERC Online Support at
