DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Project No. 12613-007]
Tygart 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 Tygart LLC's
application to amend the license for the Tygart Hydroelectric Project
No. 12613 and have prepared an Environmental Assessment (EA) for the
project.\1\ The licensee proposes to modify the design of the
unconstructed project based on engineering development. Specifically,
the licensee proposes to: (1) reconfigure the project intake to include
a fish exclusion net; (2) reconfigure the turbine units to include
three vertical Kaplan turbines; and (3) reconfigure the powerhouse and
penstock to accommodate the modified turbine design. The proposed
changes would not result in any changes to installed or hydraulic
capacity of the project. The project will be located at the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers' (Corps) Tygart Dam on the Tygart River in Taylor
County, West Virginia. The project will occupy federal lands managed by
the Corps.

\1\ The unique identification number for documents relating to
this environmental review is EAXX-019-20-000-1761560256.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The EA contains Commission staff's analysis of the potential
environmental effects of the proposed amendment, and alternatives to
the proposed action, and concludes that the proposed amendment, with
appropriate environmental protective measures, would not constitute a
major federal action that would significantly affect the quality of the
human environment.
