Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Project No. 2077-119]


Great River Hydro, 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 or FERC) 
regulations, 18 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 380, Commission 
staff reviewed Great River Hydro, LLC's application for an amendment to 
the license of the Fifteen Mile Falls Hydroelectric Project No. 2077 
and have prepared an Environmental Assessment (EA) for the proposed 
amendment. The licensee proposes to construct and operate an additional 
4.7-megawatt unit (Moore Unit 5) at the project's Moore Development. 
The Fifteen Mile Falls project consists of three developments located 
on the Connecticut River, in Grafton and Coos counties, New Hampshire, 
and Caledonia and Essex counties, Vermont.
    The EA contains Commission staff's analysis of the potential 
environmental effects of the proposed amendment to the license, and 
concludes that the proposed amendment, 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 EA may be viewed on the Commission's website at 
http://www.ferc.gov using the ``elibrary'' link. Enter the docket 
number (P-2077) 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 1-866-208-3372,
