Ampersand Gilman Hydro, LP; Notice of Intent To Prepare an Environmental Assessment
On March 29, 2022, Ampersand Gilman Hydro, LP filed a relicense application for the 4.95-megawatt Gilman Hydroelectric Project No. 2392 (project). The project is located on the Connecticut River and straddles the Village of Gilman, within the Town of Lunenburg, Essex County, Vermont, and the Town of Dalton, Coos County, New Hampshire.
In accordance with the Commission's regulations, on November 27, 2024, Commission staff issued a notice that the project was ready for environmental analysis (REA notice). Based on the information in the record, including comments filed on the REA notice, staff does not anticipate that licensing the project would constitute a major federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment. Therefore, staff intends to prepare an Environmental Assessment (EA) on the application to relicense the project. 1
