DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Project No. 15038-001]
Let It Go, LLC; Notice of Intent To Prepare an Environmental
Assessment
On December 9, 2021, as supplemented,\1\ Let It Go, LLC filed an
application for an exemption from licensing for the proposed 20-
kilowatt Jefferson Mill Hydroelectric Project (Jefferson Mill Project)
(FERC No. 15038). The Jefferson Mill Project would be located on the
Hardware River near the Town of Scottsville, Albemarle County,
Virginia. The project would not occupy federal land.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ The final exemption application filed December 9, 2021 was
supplemented on December 15, 2021, December 28, 2021, and March 9,
2022.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
In accordance with the Commission's regulations, on July 21, 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 exempting the project from licensing 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 exempt the Jefferson Mill Project
from licensing.
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 decision on whether to issue an
exemption from licensing for the project.
The application will be processed according to the following
schedule. Revisions to the schedule may be made as appropriate.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ The Council on Environmental Quality's (CEQ) regulations
under 40 CFR 1501.10(b)(1) require that EAs be completed within 1
year of the federal action agency's decision to prepare an EA. This
notice establishes the Commission's intent to prepare an EA for the
Jefferson Mill Project. Therefore, in accordance with CEQ's
regulations, the EA must be issued within 1 year of the issuance
date of this notice.
