Aspinook Hydro, LLC; Notice of Intent To Prepare an Environmental
Assessment
On April 30, 2020, Aspinook Hydro, LLC filed an application for a
new major license for the 2.78-megawatt Wyre Wynd Hydroelectric Project
(Wyre Wynd Project) (FERC No. 3472). The Wyre Wynd Project is located
on the Quinebaug River in New London and Windham Counties, Connecticut.
The project does not occupy federal land.
In accordance with the Commission's regulations, on October 6,
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 Wyre Wynd 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.

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