Summit Hydropower, Incorporated; Notice of Availability of Draft
Environmental Assessment
October 8, 1998.
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 No. 486, 52 FR 47897), the Office
of Hydropower Licensing has reviewed the application for an original
license for the Gainer Dam Hydroelectric Project, located in the town
of Scituate, Providence County, Rhode Island, and has prepared a Draft
Environmental Assessment (DEA) for the project. In the DEA, the
Commission's staff has analyzed the potential environmental effects of
rehabilitating and enlarging an existing project and has concluded that
approval of the project, as proposed with additional staff-recommended
measures, 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 2-A, of the Commission's offices at 888 First Street, NE,
Washington, DC 20426.
Any comments should be filed within 30 days from the date of this
notice and should be addressd to David P. Boergers, Secretary, Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street N.E., Room 1-A,
Washington, DC 20426. Please affix ``Gainer Dam Hydroelectric Project
No. 11282'' to the top page of all comments. For any questions
concerning preparation of the DEA for this proposed action, please
contact Lee Emery, E-mail address, lee.emery@ferc.fed.us, or telephone
(202) 219-2779, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, Office of
Hydropower Licensing.
