Jeffersonville Hydroelectric Co.; Notice of Availability of Environmental Assessment
In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission or FERC) regulations, 18 CFR part 380, Commission staff reviewed Jeffersonville Hydroelectric Co.'s application to surrender the exemption of the Lake Jefferson Project No. 6055 and have prepared an Environmental Assessment (EA) for the proposed surrender. The exemptee proposes to surrender the exemption by: (1) leaving the turbines and all generating equipment disconnected from the grid; (2) securing the power generation area of the powerhouse/residence by means of a locked barricade; and (3) upon surrender, keeping the lake level as low as possible, mainly through operation of the low-level drain valve. The project is located on the East Branch Callicoon Creek, in Sullivan County, New York, and does not occupy Federal lands.
The EA contains Commission staff's analysis of the potential environmental effects of the proposed surrender of the exemption, and concludes that the proposed surrender, would not constitute a major Federal action that would significantly affect the quality of the human environment.
The final EA may be viewed on the Commission's website at http://www.ferc.gov using the "elibrary" link. Enter the docket number (P-6055-008) in the docket number field to access the document.
