Appalachian Power Company; Notice of Availability of Environmental Assessment
In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's regulations, 18 CFR Part 380 (Order No. 486, 52 FR 47897), the Office of Energy Projects has reviewed the application for a new license for the 28.8-megawatt (MW) London-Marmet Hydroelectric Project and the 14.76-MW Winfield Hydroelectric Project located on the Kanawha River in Fayette, Kanawha, and Putnam Counties, West Virginia, and has prepared an Environmental Assessment (EA). In the EA, Commission staff analyzes the potential environmental effects of relicensing the projects and concludes that issuing new licenses for the projects, with appropriate environmental measures, would not constitute a major federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment.
A copy of the EA is on file with the Commission and is available for public inspection. The EA may also be viewed on the Commission's Web site at http://www.ferc.gov using the "eLibrary" link.
