[Project No. 4679-050]
New York Power Authority; Notice of Intent To Prepare an
Environmental Assessment
On May 25, 2022, the New York Power Authority (NYPA) filed a
relicense application for a new major license to continue operating the
11.8-megawatt Vischer Ferry Hydroelectric Project No. 4679 (Vischer
Ferry Project). The project is located on the Mohawk River in Saratoga
and Schenectady Counties, New York.
In accordance with the Commission's regulations, on March 12, 2025,
Commission staff issued a notice that the Vischer Ferry 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 Vischer Ferry 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
Vischer Ferry Project.\1\

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.
