Alice Falls Hydro, LLC; Notice of Intent To Prepare an
Environmental Assessment
On September 29, 2021, Alice Falls Hydro, LLC filed an application
for a new major license for the 2.1-megawatt Alice Falls Hydroelectric
Project (Alice Falls Project or project; FERC No. 5867). The Alice
Falls Project is located on the Ausable River, in the Town of
Chesterfield, Clinton and Essex counties, New York.
In accordance with the Commission's regulations, on February 16,
2023, 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 license the Alice 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.
