Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Project No. 12790-015]


Andrew Peklo III; 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 CFR part 380, Commission staff reviewed Andrew Peklo 
III's (licensee) application for an amendment of the project license 
for the Pomperaug Hydroelectric Project No. 12790 and have prepared an 
Environmental Assessment (EA) for the proposed amendment. The licensee 
proposes to install two 45 kilowatt (kW) turbines (for a total 
generating capacity of 90 kW) instead of the single 76 kW turbine 
authorized in the project license. The Pomperaug Project is 
unconstructed and would consist of a powerhouse located adjacent to the 
existing Pomperaug Dam on the Pomperaug River in the town of Woodbury, 
Litchfield County, Connecticut, and is not located on Federal lands.
    The final EA contains Commission staff's analysis of the potential 
environmental effects of the proposed two-turbine installation and 
supporting activities, alternatives to the proposed action, and 
concludes that the proposed installation, with appropriate 
environmental protective measures, would not constitute a major Federal 
action that would significantly affect the quality of the human 
environment.
    The final EA may be viewed on the Commission's website at http://www.ferc.gov using the ``elibrary'' link. Enter the docket number (P-
12790-015) in the docket number field to access the document. For
