DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Project No. 12790-015]
Andrew Peklo III; Notice of Availability of Environmental
Assessment
In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission or FERC)
regulations, 18 CFR part 380, Commission staff reviewed Andrew Peklo
III's (licensee) application for an amendment of the project license
for the Pomperaug Hydroelectric Project No. 12790 and have prepared an
Environmental Assessment (EA) for the proposed amendment. The licensee
proposes to install two 45 kilowatt (kW) turbines (for a total
generating capacity of 90 kW) instead of the single 76 kW turbine
authorized in the project license. The Pomperaug Project is
unconstructed and would consist of a powerhouse located adjacent to the
existing Pomperaug Dam on the Pomperaug River in the town of Woodbury,
Litchfield County, Connecticut, and is not located on Federal lands.
The final EA contains Commission staff's analysis of the potential
environmental effects of the proposed two-turbine installation and
supporting activities, alternatives to the proposed action, and
concludes that the proposed installation, with appropriate
environmental protective measures, would not constitute a major Federal
action that would significantly affect the quality of the human
environment.
The final EA may be viewed on the Commission's website at <a href="http://www.ferc.gov">http://www.ferc.gov</a> using the ``elibrary'' link. Enter the docket number (P-
