[Project No. 2639-028]
Northern States Power Company-Wisconsin; Notice of Intent To
Prepare an Environmental Assessment
On November 30, 2021, Northern States Power Company-Wisconsin filed
an application for a new major license to continue operating the
existing, licensed, 30.75-megawatt Cornell Hydroelectric Project No.
2639 (Cornell Project). The project is located on the Lower Chippewa
River, in the township of Cornell, in Chippewa County, Wisconsin. The
project does not occupy Federal land.
In accordance with the Commission's regulations, on July 14, 2023,
Commission staff issued a notice that the project was ready for
environmental analysis (REA notice). Based on the information in the
record 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 Cornell
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.
