Turners Falls Hydro, 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 license for the Turners Falls Hydroelectric Project No. 2622 (Project No. 2622), located on the Connecticut River, within the power canal of the Turners Falls Hydroelectric Project No. 1889, in Franklin County, Massachusetts, and has prepared an Environmental Assessment (EA) for Project No. 2622.

The EA contains staff's analysis of the potential environmental impacts of Project No. 2622 and concludes that licensing 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 ( http://www.ferc.gov ) using the "eLibrary" link. Enter the docket number, excluding the last three digits in the docket number field, to access the document. At this time, the Commission has suspended access to the Commission's Public Reference Room, due to the proclamation declaring a National Emergency concerning the Novel Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19), issued by the President on March 13, 2020.
