DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Project No. 5261-023]


Green Mountain Power Corporation; 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 subsequent license to continue to 
operate and maintain the Newbury Hydroelectric Project. The project is 
located on the Wells River, in the town of Newbury, Orange County, 
Vermont. Commission staff has prepared an Environmental Assessment (EA) 
for the project.
    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. For 
assistance, contact FERC Online Support at [email protected], 
or toll-free at (866) 208-3676, or for TTY, (202) 502-8659.
