Hydroelectric Project.

j. This application is not ready for 

environmental analysis at this time. 

k. Project Description: The existing 

Hiram Project consists of a 255-acre, 7.5- 

mile-long impoundment at normal full 

pond elevation 349.0 feet; a 448-footlong dam located at the top of Great 

Falls fitted with an inflatable dam 

across the spillway crest; an intake that 

is integral to the dam; a 320-foot-long, 

15.5-foot-diameter penstock that 

bifurcates to one 170-foot-long by 10- 

foot-wide penstock (to Unit 1), and one 

80-foot-long by 15.5-foot-diameter 

penstock (to Unit 2); a powerhouse 

containing two turbine-generator units, 

Unit 1 rated at 2.4 megawatts (MW) and 

Unit 2 at 8.1 MW, for a total installed 

capacity of 10.5 MW; and appurtenant 

facilities. The project’s transmission 

facilities include: (1) Generator leads; 

(2) a substation located adjacent to, and 

north of, the powerhouse; and (3) a 

transmission circuit connecting the 

substation to a non-project switching 

station. The project generates an annual 

average of 45,142 megawatt-hours. 

White Pine Hydro proposes to 

continue to: operate the project in a runof-river mode from October 1 through 

November 15, with head pond 

drawdowns limited to 1 foot or less 

from the full pond elevation, or from the 

spillway crest when the inflatable dam 

is down. From November 16 through 

September 30, White Pine Hydro 

proposes to continue to cycle daily 

operations whereby it would turn on 

and off its generating units when inflow 

is sufficient to meet load demands, 

resulting in drawdown of the head pond 

by up to 2 feet from the full pond 

elevation during normal project 

operation, or from the spillway crest 

when the inflatable dam is down. 

During this period, White Pine Hydro 

would continue to provide a minimum 

flow of 300 cubic feet per second (cfs), 

of inflow, whichever is less below the 

powerhouse. 

White Pine Hydro proposes to remove 

from the current project boundary 152 

acres of land and 25 acres of water.

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Federal Energy Regulatory

[Project No. 3251–010] 

Cornell University; Notice of 

Availability of Environmental 

Assessment 

In accordance with the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969 and 

the Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission’s (Commission) 

regulations, 18 CFR part 380, the Office 

of Energy Projects has reviewed the 

application for a new license for the 

Cornell University Hydroelectric 

Project, located on Fall Creek in the City 

of Ithaca, Tompkins County, New York, 

and has prepared an Environmental 

Assessment (EA) for the project. The 

project does not occupy federal land. 

The EA contains staff’s analysis of the 

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 Commission provides all 

interested persons with an opportunity 

to view and/or print the EA via the 

internet through the Commission’s 

Home Page (http://www.ferc.gov/) using
