Little Falls Hydroelectric Associates, LP; Notice of Intent To
Prepare an Environmental Assessment
On August 31, 2021, Little Falls Hydroelectric Associates, LP
(Little Falls Associates) filed an application for a new major license
for the 13.3-megawatt Little Falls Hydroelectric Project (Little Falls
Project; FERC No. 3509). The Little Falls Project is located on the
Mohawk River, in the City of Little Falls, Herkimer County, New York.
The project does not occupy federal land.
In accordance with the Commission's regulations, on May 25, 2022,
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 relicense the Little Falls 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.
