[Project No. 5274-001]
New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services; 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 New Hampshire
Department of Environmental Services' application for surrender of the
exemption for the Squam Lake Dam Hydroelectric Project No. 5274 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 Squam River, in Grafton County,
New Hampshire. The project does not occupy any federal lands.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ The unique identification number for documents relating to
this environmental review is EAXX-019-20-000-1755615924.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
