Notice of Availability of Environmental Assessment: Eagle Creek
Hydro Power, LLC; Eagle Creek Water Resources, LLC; Eagle Creek Land
Resources, LLC
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 joint application for a new license for each of the
``Mongaup River Projects'' consisting of the Swinging Bridge
Hydroelectric Project (Swinging Bridge Project), Mongaup Falls
Hydroelectric Project (Mongaup Falls Project), and Rio Hydroelectric
Project (Rio Project). The Swinging Bridge Project is located on the
Mongaup River and Black Lake Creek in Sullivan County, New York. The
Mongaup Falls Project is located on the Mongaup River and Black Brook
in Sullivan County, New York. The Rio Project is located on the Mongaup
River in Sullivan and Orange Counties, New York. The projects do not
occupy any federal land.
The EA contains staff's analysis of the potential environmental
effects of the Mongaup River Projects and concludes that licensing the
projects, with appropriate environmental 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
docket number, excluding the last three digits in the docket number
field, to access the document. At this time, the Commission has
suspended access to the Commission's Public Reference Room, due to the
proclamation declaring a National Emergency concerning the Novel
Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19), issued by the President on March 13,
2020. For assistance, contact FERC Online Support at
