DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Project No. 7274-035]
Town of Wells; Notice of Intent To Prepare an Environmental
Assessment
On July 31, 2023, the Town of Wells filed a relicense application
for the 698-kilowatt Lake Algonquin Hydroelectric Project No. 7274
(Lake Algonquin Project or project). The project is located on the
Sacandaga River in the Town of Wells, Hamilton County, New York.
In accordance with the Commission's regulations, on June 25, 2025,
Commission staff issued a notice that the Lake Algonquin 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 Lake Algonquin Project would
constitute a major federal action significantly affecting the quality
of the human environment. Therefore, staff intend to prepare an
Environmental Assessment (EA) on the application to relicense the Lake
Algonquin Project.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ For tracking purposes under the National Environmental
Policy Act, the unique identification number for documents relating
to this environmental review is EAXX-019-20-000-1755775659.

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.

meaningful public engagement and participation in Commission
proceedings. OPP can help members of the public, including landowners,
