DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Project No. 5124-022]


Washington Electric Cooperative, Inc.; Notice of Availability of 
Draft 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 license for the North Branch No. 3 
Hydroelectric Project, located on the North Branch of the Winooski 
River in Washington County, Vermont, and has prepared a Draft 
Environmental Assessment (DEA) for the project. No federal land is 
occupied by project works or located within the project boundary.
    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.
    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), issued by the President on March 13, 
2020. For assistance, contact FERC Online Support at 
[email protected], or toll-free at (866) 208-3676, or for TTY,
