Electro Ecology, Inc.; Notice of Availability of Environmental 
Assessment

July 21, 1997.
    An environmental assessment (EA) is available for public review. 
The EA is for an application to amend the Wappingers Falls 
Hydroelectric Project. The application is to install a new 25 kW 
turbine on a new 20-inch-diameter minimum flow release pipe. The new 
pipe will be used to release the project's minimum flow to the bypass 
reach. The new release pipe will replace an existing, smaller-diameter 
pipe which does not have a turbine attached to it. The EA finds that 
approval of the application would not constitute a major federal action 
significantly affecting the quality of the human environment. The 
Wappingers Falls Hydroelectric Project is located on Wappinger Creek in 
Dutchess County, New York.
    The EA was written by staff in the Office of Hydropower Licensing, 
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. Copies of the EA can be viewed at 
the Commission's Reference and Information Center, 888 First Street, 
N.E., Washington, D.C. 20426. Copies can also be obtained by calling 
the project manager, Pete Yarrington, at [phone].
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
