[Project No. 2955-011]
City of Watervliet, New York; Notice of Intent To Prepare an
Environmental Assessment
On February 28, 2020, the City of Watervliett, New York filed an
application for a subsequent minor license for the 1.25-megawatt
Normanskill Hydroelectric Project (Normanskill Project) (FERC No.
2955). The Normanskill Project is located on the Normans Kill in the
Town of Guilderland in Albany County, New York. The project is located
approximately 22.4 river miles upstream of the mouth of the Hudson
River. The project does not occupy federal land.
In accordance with the Commission's regulations, on May 11, 2021,
Commission staff issued a notice that the project was ready for
environmental analysis (REA notice). Based on the information in the
record, including comments filed on the REA notice, staff does not
anticipate that licensing the project would constitute a major federal
action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment.
Therefore, staff intends to prepare an Environmental Assessment (EA) on
the application to license the Normanskill Project.
The EA will be issued and circulated for review by all interested
parties. All comments filed on the EA will be analyzed by staff and
considered in the Commission's final licensing decision.
The application will be processed according to the following
schedule. Revisions to the schedule may be made as appropriate.

CFR 1501.10(b)(1) require that EAs be completed within 1 year of the

Normanskill Project. Therefore, in accordance with CEQ's regulations,
the EA must be issued within 1 year of the issuance date of this
notice.
