[Project No. 4718-039]
Cocheco Falls Associates Notice of Intent To Prepare an
Environmental Assessment
On December 29, 2020, Cocheco Falls Associates filed an application
for a subsequent license to continue operating the existing 714-
kilowatt Cocheco Falls Dam Project No. 4718 (project). The project is
located on the Cocheco River in the city of Dover, Strafford County,
New Hampshire. The project does not occupy federal land.
In accordance with the Commission's regulations, on August 12,
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.

\1\ The Council on Environmental Quality's (CEQ) regulations

notice establishes the Commission's intent to prepare an EA for the
Cocheco Falls Dam Project. Therefore, in accordance with CEQ's
regulations, the EA must be issued within 1 year of the issuance
date of this notice.
