DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Project No. 15045-002]
Current Hydro Project 19, 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 an original license to construct, operate,
and maintain the New Cumberland Hydroelectric Project No. 15045
(project). The proposed project would be located at the United States
Army Corps of Engineer's (Corps) New Cumberland Locks and Dam on the
Ohio River in Hancock County, West Virginia. Commission staff has
prepared an Environmental Assessment (EA) for the proposed project.\1\
The proposed project would affect 2.82 acres of federal land
administered by the Corps.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ For tracking purposes under the National Environmental
Policy Act, the unique identification number for documents relating
to this environmental review is EAXX-019-20-000-1756991414.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The EA contains staff's analysis of the potential environmental
impacts of the proposed project and concludes that the original
licensing of 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
