DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Project No. 1888-043]
York Haven Power Company, LLC; Notice of Intent To Prepare an
Environmental Assessment
On January 26, 2023, as supplemented on October 5 and 20, 2023,
York Haven Power Company, LLC filed an application for a non-capacity
amendment for the York Haven Hydroelectric Project No. 1888. The
project is located on the Susquehanna River in Lancaster and York
counties, Pennsylvania. The project does not occupy Federal lands.
The licensee proposes to amend its license to allow for the
construction and operation of an inland nature-like fishway versus the
in-river nature-like fishway currently required by the license.
Amending the license would allow the licensee to incorporate the
amended terms of the project's Settlement Agreement, which now requires
an inland nature-like fishway. In addition, the licensee is proposing
to amend Article 404 of its license to expand the window for tree
clearing activities associated with construction of the fishway (August
16 to May 14, as opposed to November 15 to March 31 as currently stated
in Article 404). A Notice of Application Accepted for Filing and
Soliciting Comments, Motions to Intervene, and Protests was issued on
April 13, 2023. No comments were received; however, one motion to
intervene was filed by Constellation Energy Generation, LLC.
This notice identifies Commission staff's intention to prepare an
environmental assessment (EA) for the proposed action. The planned
schedule for the completion of the EA is May 2024.\1\ Revisions to the
schedule may be made as appropriate. The EA will be issued and made
available for review by all interested parties. All comments filed on
the EA will be reviewed by staff and considered in the Commission's
final decision on the proceeding.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ 42 U.S.C. 4336a(g)(1)(B) requires lead Federal agencies to
complete EAs within 1 year of the agency's decision to prepare an
EA.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
With this notice, the Commission is inviting Federal, State, local,
and Tribal agencies with jurisdiction and/or special expertise with
respect to environmental issues affected by the proposal to cooperate
in the preparation of the EA planned to be issued May 2024. Agencies
wishing to cooperate, or further discuss the benefits,
responsibilities, and obligations of the cooperating agency role,
should contact staff listed at the bottom of this notice by February
16, 2024. Cooperating agencies should note the Commission's policy that
agencies that cooperate in the preparation of any environmental
document cannot also intervene. See 94 FERC ] 61,076 (2001).
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 to access
