DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Project No. 2490-031]
Green Mountain Power Corporation; Notice of Intent To Prepare an
Environmental Assessment
On August 30, 2022, the Green Mountain Power Corporation filed a
minor relicense application for the 0.5-megawatt Taftsville
Hydroelectric Project No. 2490 (project). The project is located on the
Ottauquechee River in the Village of Taftsville, in Windsor County,
Vermont. No Federal or Tribal lands occur within or adjacent to the
project boundary.
In accordance with the Commission's regulations, on June 12, 2024,
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 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-019-20-000-1728292340. 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.
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#84cbd4d4c4e2e1f6e7aae3ebf2"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="d699868696b0b3a4b5f8b1b9a0">[email protected]</span></a>.
The application will be processed according to the following
schedule. Revisions to the schedule may be made as appropriate.
