This is dependent upon waste content 

and compliance with facility waste 

acceptance criteria. 

• Alternative 2—If determined to be 

Class B or C LLW, stabilize and package 

the waste at SRS and ship to WCS. This 

is dependent upon waste content and 

compliance with facility waste 

acceptance criteria. 

The EA will also analyze a no action 

alternative under which the 

contaminated process equipment would 

remain in storage at SRS until 

disposition occurs. 

Potential Areas of Environmental 

Analysis 

DOE has tentatively identified the 

following areas for detailed analysis in 

the EA: Human health and safety; land 

use; air quality; water, cultural, and 

ecological resources; waste 

management; socioeconomics; and 

transportation. This list is not intended 

to be comprehensive or to predetermine 

the potential impacts to be analyzed. 

The level of analysis for different 

impacts will be in proportion to their 

significance. 

NEPA Process and Public Participation 

DOE will prepare the Draft EA in 

accordance with the Council on 

Environmental Quality regulations at 40 

CFR parts 1500–1508 and DOE NEPA 

implementing procedures at 10 CFR part 

1021. DOE plans to issue a Federal 

Register notice in 2021 on the 

availability of the Draft EA. Based on 

the EA analysis, DOE will either issue 

a Finding of No Significant Impact or 

announce its intention to prepare an 

environmental impact statement.

Cocheco Falls Dam Project (P–4718–

m. The application is not ready for

n. Project Description: The existing 

Cocheco Falls Dam Project consists of: 

(1) A 150-foot-long, 13.5-foot-high stone 

masonry arch dam that includes the 

following sections: (a) A left abutment 

section; (b) a 140-foot-long spillway 

section with 24-inch-high flashboards, a 

5-foot-wide, 10-foot-high low-level 

outlet gate, and a crest elevation of 37.0 

feet mean sea level (msl) at the top of 

the flashboards; and (c) a right abutment 

section with a debris sluice gate; (2) a 

20-acre impoundment with a storage 

capacity of 150 acre-feet at an elevation 

of 37.0 feet msl; (3) a 64-foot-wide, 10- 

foot-high intake structure equipped with 

a trashrack with 1-inch clear bar 

spacing; (4) an 8.5-foot-diameter, 184- 

foot-long gated steel penstock that 

trifurcates into three 5-foot-diameter, 8- 

foot-long sections, each controlled by a 

5-foot-diameter butterfly valve; (5) a 40- 

foot-long, 40-foot-wide concrete and 

brick masonry powerhouse containing 

three 238-kilowatt (kW) vertical Flygt 

submersible turbine-generator units for 

a total installed capacity of 714 kW; (6) 

a 40-foot-long, 40-foot-wide tailrace that 

discharges into the Cocheco River; (7) a 

1,000-foot-long, 34.5-kilovolt (kV) 

underground transmission line and a 

34.5-kV transformer that connects the 

project to the local utility distribution 

system; and (8) appurtenant facilities. 

Cocheco Falls Associates voluntarily 

operates the project in a run-of-river 

mode using an automatic pond level 

control system to regulate turbine 

operation, such that outflow from the 

project approximates inflow. The 

project creates an approximately 100- 

foot-long bypassed reach of the Cocheco 

River. 

Downstream fish passage is provided 

by a bypass facility located on the left 

side of the dam and consist of a 5.6-footwide, 7-foot-long fish collection box, a 

trashrack with 6-inch clear bar spacing, 

and a 24-inch-diameter PVC fish 

passage pipe. Upstream fish passage is 

provided by a Denil fish ladder located 

on the right side of the dam. 

The current license requires the 

release of: (1) 20 cubic feet per second 

(cfs) from the upstream fish passage 

facility from April 15 until June 30; (2) 

20 cfs through the trash sluiceway from 

April 15 until June 15, to attract 

anadromous fish to the fish ladder; and 

(3) 20 cfs through the downstream fish 

passage facility from April 15 until ice 

forms on the river. The average annual 

generation of the project is 

approximately 3,000 megawatt-hours. 

Cocheco Falls Associates proposes to: 

(1) Continue to operate the project in a 

run-of-river mode; (2) continue to 

facilitate upstream and downstream fish 

passage by providing the minimum 

flows required by the current license; (3) 

design and install an upstream eel 

passage facility at the Denil fish ladder 

location within 4 years of the effective 

date of a subsequent license; and (4) 

consult with the New Hampshire State 

Historic Preservation Officer before 

beginning any land-disturbing activities 

or alterations to known historic 

structures within the project boundary.
