Mad River Power Associates; Notice of Intent To Prepare an
Environmental Assessment
On November 3, 2020, Mad River Power Associates filed an
application for a subsequent license to continue operating the existing
639-kilowatt Campton Hydroelectric Project No. 3253 (project). The
project is located on the Mad River in Grafton County, New Hampshire,
and occupies approximately 0.08 acre of federal land administered by
the U.S. Forest Service.
In accordance with the Commission's regulations, on July 7, 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 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.

date of this notice.
