DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Project No. 4451-024]
Green Mountain Power Corporation, City of Somersworth, New
Hampshire; Notice of Availability of Environmental Assessment
In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission)
regulations, 18 CFR part 380, the Office of Energy Projects has
reviewed the relicense application for the Lower Great Falls
Hydroelectric Project No. 4451, located on the Salmon Falls River in
Strafford County, New Hampshire and York County, Maine, and has
prepared an Environmental Assessment (EA) for the project. No federal
land would be occupied by the project.
The EA contains staff's analysis of the potential environmental
effects of the project and concludes that licensing the project, with
appropriate environmental protective measures, would not constitute a
major federal action that would significantly affect the quality of the
human environment.
The number of pages in the EA exceeds the page limits set forth in
the Council on Environmental Quality's July 16, 2020 final rule, Update
to the Regulations Implementing the Procedural Provisions of the
National Environmental Policy Act (85 FR 43304). Noting the scope and
complexity of the proposed action and action alternatives, the Director
of the Office of Energy Projects, as our senior agency official, has
authorized this page limit exceedance for the EA.
The Commission provides all interested persons with an opportunity
to view and/or print the EA via the internet through the Commission's
Home Page (<a href="http://www.ferc.gov">http://www.ferc.gov</a>) using the ``eLibrary'' link. Enter the
