DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Project No. 7189-015]
Green Lake Water Power Company; Notice of Intent To Prepare an
Environmental Assessment
On March 31, 2022, Green Lake Water Power Company filed a relicense
application for the 500-kilowatt Green Lake Hydroelectric Project No.
7189 (project). The project is located on Green Lake and Reeds Brook in
Hancock County, Maine.
In accordance with the Commission's regulations, on March 23, 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 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 Commission's Office of Public Participation (OPP) supports
meaningful public engagement and participation in Commission
proceedings. OPP can help members of the public, including landowners,
environmental justice communities, Tribal members and others, access
publicly available information and navigate Commission processes. For
public inquiries and assistance with making filings such as
interventions, comments, or requests for rehearing, the public is
encouraged to contact OPP at (202) 502-6595 or <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#06495656466063746528616970"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="56190606163033243578313920">[email protected]</span></a>.
The application will be processed according to the following
schedule. Revisions to the schedule may be made as appropriate.

notice establishes the Commission's intent to prepare an EA for the
Green Lake Hydroelectric Project. Therefore, in accordance with
CEQ's regulations, the EA must be issued within 1 year of the
issuance date of this notice.
Dated: May 31, 2023.
