[Project No. 2570-034]
Eagle Creek Racine Hydro, LLC; Notice of Intent To Prepare an
Environmental Assessment
On November 30, 2021, Eagle Creek Racine Hydro, LLC filed a
relicense application for the 47.5-megawatt Racine Hydroelectric
Project No. 2570 (Racine Project). The Racine Project is located at the
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' (Corps) Racine Locks and Dam on the Ohio
River near the Town of Racine in Meigs County, Ohio. The project
occupies 27.99 acres of federal land administered by the Corps.
In accordance with the Commission's regulations, on November 1,
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 relicensing 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 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.

\1\ 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 Racine
Hydroelectric Project. Therefore, in accordance with CEQ's
regulations, the EA must be issued within 1 year of the issuance date
of this notice.
