Glencoe Mill, LLC; Notice of Intent To Prepare an Environmental
Assessment
On July 22, 2025, Glencoe Mill, LLC (exemptee) filed an application
to surrender its exemption from licensing for the Glencoe Mill Project
No. 7404. The project is located on the Haw River in Alamance County,
North Carolina. The project does not occupy federal lands.
The project has not operated in three years and the exemptee
determined that it was not financially feasible to repair the project
and continue to operate. The project has been disconnected from the
power grid, and the generator is no longer operable. The powerhouse has
been secured. The exemptee no longer has a lease for the property and
the dam and mill race are owned by Preservation North Carolina. The
exemptee intends to assist Preservation North Carolina in maintaining
the mill race. The other side of the mill race adjoins a public park
operated by the Alamance County Parks Department. A Notice of
Application for Surrender of Exemption Accepted for Filing and
Soliciting Comments, Motions to Intervene, and Protests was issued on
August 5, 2025. No comments were filed pursuant to the notice. On
December 5, 2025, the exemptee filed a letter stating that Preservation
North Carolina is considering working with American Rivers to have the
dam removed and donating the property as a park.
This notice identifies Commission staff's intention to prepare an
environmental assessment (EA) under the National Environmental Policy
Act (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq) for the project.\1\ Commission staff plans
to issue an EA by September 14, 2026. Revisions to the schedule may be
made as appropriate. The EA will be issued for a 30-day comment period.

in the Commission's final decision on the proceeding.
