[Project No. 2674-003-VT]
Green Mountain Power Corporation; Notice of Availability of
Environmental Assessment
October 16, 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 a new license
for the existing Vergennes Hydroelectric Project, located in the city
of Vergennes, Addison County, Vermont, and has prepared an
Environmental Assessment (EA) for the project. In the EA, the
Commission's staff has analyzed the potential environmental effects of
the 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 EA are available for review in the Public Reference
Branch, Room 2-A, of the Commission's offices at 888 First Street,
N.E., Washington, D.C. 20426.
Any comments should be filed within 30 days from the date of this
notice and should be addressed to David P. Boergers, Secretary, Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street N.E., Room 1-A,
Washington, D.C. 20426. Please affix ``Vergennes Hydroelectric Project
No. 2674'' to the top page of all comments. For questions concerning
preparation of the EA 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.
David P. Boergers,
Secretary.
