DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

[Project No. 3342-025]
Briar Hydro Associates; Notice of Intent To Prepare an
Environmental Assessment
On November 30, 2022, the Briar Hydro Associates filed a new
license application for the 4.6-megawatt Penacook Lower Falls
Hydroelectric Project No. 3342 (project). The project is located on the
Contoocook River in City of Concord, and Town of Boscawen, Merrimack
County, New Hampshire.
In accordance with the Commission's regulations, on June 20, 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 license 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-019-20-000-1729248238. 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

The application will be processed according to the following
schedule. Revisions to the schedule may be made as appropriate.
