Consolidated Hydro New York, LLC; Notice of Intent To Prepare an
Environmental Assessment
On April 29, 2022, Consolidated Hydro New York, LLC filed a
relicense application for the 1.656-megawatt Victory Mills
Hydroelectric Project (Victory Mills Project or project; FERC No.
7153). The project is located on Fish Creek in Saratoga County in the
Village of Victory, New York.
In accordance with the Commission's regulations, on June 28, 2024,
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.\1\

\1\ In accordance with the Council on Environmental Quality's
regulations, the unique identification number for documents relating
to this environmental review is EAXX-019-20-000-1727252162. 40 CFR
1501.5(c)(4) (2024).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.

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

schedule. The EA will be issued for a 30-day comment period. Revisions
to the schedule may be made as appropriate.
