Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Project No. 6055-008]


Jeffersonville Hydroelectric Co.; 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 Jeffersonville 
Hydroelectric Co.'s application to surrender the exemption of the Lake 
Jefferson Project No. 6055 and have prepared an Environmental 
Assessment (EA) for the proposed surrender. The exemptee proposes to 
surrender the exemption by: (1) leaving the turbines and all generating 
equipment disconnected from the grid; (2) securing the power generation 
area of the powerhouse/residence by means of a locked barricade; and 
(3) upon surrender, keeping the lake level as low as possible, mainly 
through operation of the low-level drain valve. The project is located 
on the East Branch Callicoon Creek, in Sullivan County, New York, and 
does not occupy Federal lands.
    The EA contains Commission staff's analysis of the potential 
environmental effects of the proposed surrender of the exemption, and 
concludes that the proposed surrender, 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-
6055-008) in the docket number field to access the document. For
