Comtu Falls Associates; Notice of Availability of Draft
Environmental Assessment
January 20, 1995.
In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission's)
regulations 18 CFR Part 380 (Order 486, 52 FR 47897), the Office of
Hydropower Licensing has reviewed the down stream fish passage plan for
the Comtu Falls Project, located on the Black River, in Windsor County,
Vermont, and has prepared a Draft Environmental Assessment (DEA). In
the DEA, the Commission staff analyzed the potential impacts and
benefits from the licensee's proposed fish passage plan, the no-action
alternative and a Commission staff alternative. The Commission staff
determined that either the licensee's proposed plan or staff's
alternative would provide the intended benefits to the fish resources
of the Black River, with the Commission staff's plan being less costly.
The Commission staff concluded that approval of either downstream fish
passage plan would not constitute a major Federal action significantly
affecting the quality of the human environment.
Copies of the DEA are available for review in the Public Reference
Branch, Room 3104, of the Commission's offices at 941 North Capitol
Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426.
Please submit any comments within 30 days from the date of this
notice. Any comments, conclusions, or recommendations that draw upon
studies, reports, or other working papers of substance should be
supported by appropriate documentation.
Comments should be addressed to Lois D. Cashell, Secretary, Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission, 825 North Capitol Street NE., Washington,
DC 20426. Please affix Project No. 7888-006 to all comments. For
Further information, please contact Robert Grieve at (202) 219-265.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
