DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Project No. 2666-007, Maine]
Bangor Hydroelectric Company; Notice of Availability of Draft
Environmental Assessment
October 28, 1998.
In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission)
regulations, 18 CFR Part 380 (Order No. 486, 52 FR 47897), the Office
of Hydropower Licensing reviewed the application for a new license for
the Medway Hydroelectric Project, and prepared a Draft Environmental
Assessment (DEA) for the project. The Medway Project is located on the
West Branch Penobscot River in the town of Medway, Penobscot County,
Maine. The DEA contains the staff's analysis of potential environmental
impacts of the project and concludes that licensing the project, with
appropriate environmental protective measures, would not constitute a
major federal action that would significantly affect the quality of the
human environment.
The DEA is available in the Public Reference Room, Room 2A, of the
Commission's offices at 888 First Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20426.
Comments should be filed within 45 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., Washington, D.C.
20426. For further information, contact David Turner, Environmental
Coordinator, at (202) 219-2844.
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
