DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Project No. 2880-015]


Cherokee Falls Hydroelectric Project, LLC; Notice of Availability 
of Environmental Assessment

    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 a new major license for the Cherokee Falls 
Hydroelectric Project No. 2880, and has prepared an Environmental 
Assessment (EA) for the project. The project is located on the Broad 
River, in Cherokee County, South Carolina. No federal land is occupied 
by project works or located within the project boundary.
    The EA 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.
    The Commission provides all interested persons with an opportunity 
to view and/or print the EA via the internet through the Commission's 
Home Page (http://www.ferc.gov/), using the ``eLibrary'' link. Enter 
the docket number, excluding the last three digits in the docket number 
field, to access the document. At this time, the Commission has 
suspended access to the Commission's Public Reference Room, due to the 
proclamation declaring a National Emergency concerning the Novel 
Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19), in a Presidential proclamation issued 
on March 13, 2020. For assistance, contact FERC Online Support at 
[email protected], or toll-free at (866) 208-3676, or for TTY,
