Lake Upchurch Dam Preservation Association; 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 Lake Upchurch 
Dam Preservation Association's application for surrender of exemption 
for the Raeford Hydroelectric Project No. 6619 and have prepared an 
Environmental Assessment (EA) for the project.\1\ The exemptee proposes 
to surrender its exemption and decommission the project. The project is 
located on the Rockfish Creek, at Upchurches Pond in Cumberland County, 
North Carolina. The project does not occupy any federal lands.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The unique identification number for documents relating to 
this environmental review is EAXX-019-20-000-173764344.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The EA contains Commission staff's analysis of the potential 
environmental effects of the proposed surrender, alternatives to the 
proposed action, and concludes that the proposed surrender would not 
constitute a major federal action that would significantly affect the 
quality of the human environment.
