DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Project No. 4784-106]
Topsham Hydro Partners Limited Partnership (L.P.); Notice of
Availability of Final 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 application for license for the Pejepscot Hydroelectric
Project, located on the Androscoggin River in Sagadahoc, Cumberland,
and Androscoggin Counties in the village of Pejepscot and the town of
Topsham, Maine and has prepared a Final Environmental Assessment (FEA)
for the project. No federal land is occupied by project works or
located within the project boundary.
The FEA contains staff's analysis of the potential environmental
impacts 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.
[[Page 67470]]
The number of pages in the FEA 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 FEA 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
