DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Project No. 6055-008]
Jeffersonville Hydroelectric Co.; 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 Jeffersonville
Hydroelectric Co.'s application to surrender the exemption of the Lake
Jefferson Project No. 6055 and have prepared an Environmental
Assessment (EA) for the proposed surrender. The exemptee proposes to
surrender the exemption by: (1) leaving the turbines and all generating
equipment disconnected from the grid; (2) securing the power generation
area of the powerhouse/residence by means of a locked barricade; and
(3) upon surrender, keeping the lake level as low as possible, mainly
through operation of the low-level drain valve. The project is located
on the East Branch Callicoon Creek, in Sullivan County, New York, and
does not occupy Federal lands.
The EA contains Commission staff's analysis of the potential
environmental effects of the proposed surrender of the exemption, and
concludes that the proposed surrender, 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-
