DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Project No. 2320-016, New York]


Orion Power New York; Notice of Availability of Environmental 
Assessment

March 1, 2000.
    An environmental assessment (EA) is available for public review. 
The EA analyzes the environmental effects of proposed changes to the 
project boundary for the Middle Raquette River project located in the 
Town of Colton in St. Lawrence County, New York. The proposed boundary 
changes would result in the removal of about 24 acres of land from two 
areas of the project's Higley Development.
    The EA was written by staff in the Office of Hydropower Licensing, 
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. Based on the environmental 
analyses presented in the EA, the Commission's staff finds that the 
proposed project boundary changes would not constitute a major federal 
action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment.
    The EA has been attached to and made a part of an Order Amending 
License, issued March 1, 2000, for the Middle Raquette River project 
(FERC No. 2320-016). The EA is available for inspection and 
reproduction at the Commission's Public Reference Room located at 888 
First Street, NE, Room 2A, Washington, DC 20426. Copies of the EA also 
may be obtained by calling (202) 208-1371, or by email at 
[email protected]. The EA also may be viewed on the 
Commission's web site at http://www.ferc.fed.us/online/rims.htm (call 
(202) 208-2222 for assistance).
