Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Project No. 2727-092]


Notice of Availability of Draft Environmental Assessment: Black 
Bear Hydro Partners, LLC

    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 the relicensing of the Ellsworth 
Hydroelectric Project, located on the Union River, in Hancock County, 
Maine, and has prepared a Draft Environmental Assessment (DEA) for the 
project.
    The DEA contains staff's analysis of the potential environmental 
impacts of the project 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.
    A copy of the DEA is available for review at the Commission in the 
Public Reference Room or may be viewed on the Commission's website at 
http://www.ferc.gov using the eLibrary link. Enter the docket number 
excluding the last three digits in the docket number field to access
