DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Project No. 15021-000]
Bard College, New York; Notice of Intent To Prepare an
Environmental Assessment
On December 23, 2019, Bard College, New York filed an application
for an exemption from licensing for the 10-kilowatt Annandale Micro
Hydropower Project (Annandale Project) (FERC No. 15021). The Annandale
Project is located on the Saw Kill, a tributary of the Hudson River, in
the Town of Red Hook, Dutchess County, New York. The project does not
occupy federal land.
In accordance with the Commission's regulations, on July 9, 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 exempt the Annandale Project from licensing.
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 decision on whether to issue an
exemption from licensing for the project.
The application will be processed according to the following
schedule. Revisions to the schedule may be made as appropriate.
