DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

[Project No. 2607-016]
Spencer Mountain Hydropower, 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)
regulations, 18 CFR part 380, the Office of Energy Projects has
reviewed the application for a subsequent license to continue to
operate and maintain the Spencer Mountain Hydroelectric Project No.
2607 (project). The 640-kilowatt project is located on the South Fork
Catawba, near the town of Gastonia, in Gaston County, North Carolina.
Commission staff has prepared an Environmental Assessment (EA) for the
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-019-20-000-1742805952.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The EA contains staff's analysis of the potential environmental
effects of the project and concludes that issuing a subsequent license
for the project, with appropriate environmental protective measures,
would not constitute a major federal action that would significantly
affect the quality of the human environment.
The Commission provides all interested persons with an opportunity
to view and/or print the EA via the internet through the Commission's
Home Page (<a href="http://www.ferc.gov/">http://www.ferc.gov/</a>), using the ``eLibrary'' link. Enter

field, to access the document. For assistance, contact FERC Online
