[Project No. 2611-093]
Hydro Kennebec, LLC; 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 Hydro Kennebec,
LLC's request for a temporary variance of the license for the Hydro-
Kennebec Hydroelectric Project No. 2611 and has prepared an
Environmental Assessment (EA) for the project.\1\ The licensee proposes
to install 3-foot-high flashboards at the project instead of the normal
6-foot-high flashboards to lower the reservoir elevation by 3 feet
(elevation of 78 feet U.S. Geological Survey Datum) to allow for
repairs to a spillway gate. The temporary variance would begin
immediately and last until the gate is repaired, but no later than
December 31, 2025. The Hydro-Kennebec Project is located on the
Kennebec River in Kennebec and Somerset counties, Maine and does not
occupy federal land.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ The unique identification number for documents relating to
this environmental review is EAXX-019-20-000-1746012887.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The EA contains Commission staff's analysis of the potential
environmental effects of the proposed temporary variance, alternatives
to the proposed action, and concludes that the temporary variance, with
appropriate environmental protective measures, would not constitute a
major federal action that would significantly affect the quality of the
human environment.
