Village of Swanton, Vermont; Notice of Intent To Prepare an
Environmental Assessment
On April 29, 2022, the Village of Swanton, Vermont (Village) filed
a relicense application for the 11.372-megawatt Highgate Falls
Hydroelectric Project No. 2547. The project is located on the
Missisquoi River in Franklin County, Vermont.
In accordance with the Commission's regulations, on September 8,
2025, Commission staff issued a notice that the 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 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 project.\1\
