Availability of Environmental Assessment

    An environmental assessment (EA) for Project No. 2738-049 is 
available for public review. The EA examines the New York State 
Electric and Gas Corporation's (NYSEG) proposal to change land rights, 
and sell 101 acres within the current boundary of the Saranac River 
Hydroelectric Project to Clinton County, New York (County) or New 
England Waste Services of New York, Inc. (NEWSNY). The County and 
NEWSNY have a public-private partnership currently operating a solid 
waste landfill adjacent to NYSEG's Kents Falls development, and propose 
to expand the landfill upon the project lands they would acquire. The 
Kents Falls development is located along the Saranac River within the 
town of Schuyler Falls, Clinton County, New York.
