REQUEST: All materials relating to a determination concerning application of Central Hudson Gas & Electric Company, Docket No. UL88-18-00 for Dashville 

Dam on Wallkill River, finding of "No evidence of navigable waterway", including the report entitled "Navigability of the Wallkill River (Sturgeon Pool Hydropower 

Project) Ulster County, New York" prepared by the Commission March 15, 1988. Further, any testimony, oath, statements, representations or fact or documents 

upon which the Commission has relied in effecting its decision. Such decision (44 FERC P62,215 1988) was rendered August 17.1988. Payment of Fees: 

Request a waiver or reduction of fees. SpecifiedAmount: $ 20.00. Fee Waiver Justification: I am a member of, and represent. a homeowner association of 

residents in the Wallkill River watershed. Presently, there is no state nor federal regulatory body overseeing the operation of this dam. It is further argued that, 

since there is no public authority to compel public inspection of the operational logs, that the operator may be recklessly impounding flood waters for a later 

generation of electric energy, when it is more fiscally beneficial. Our group has questioned that, when the applicant to FERC in 1988 requested a finding of no 

navigable waterway, it may have misrepresented certain conditions. We would like to address these public concerns and, through a public inspection of the 

records, determine if any misrepresentation has been made in the 1988 application. These documents are requested to allow public access to a governmental 

decision making process which, apparently, was made through a, perhaps, unilateral hearing. 4/4/11-Determination letter reflecting that no privileged documents

nonprofit, public interest groups, such as FOER, access to government documents without the payment of fees. The courts have stated that the statute "is to be 

liberally construed in favor of waivers for noncommercial requesters: McClellan Ecological Seepage 

Situation v. Carlucci, 835 F.2d 1282 1284 (9th Cir. 1987), quoting 132 Congo Rec. S. 14298 (Sept. 30,1986) (Sen. Leahy) (emphasis added). FOER meets the 

two-pronged test for a fee waiver established in FOIA because the "disclosure of the information)s in the public interest because it is likely to contribute 

significantly to public understanding of the operations or activities of the government and is not primarily in the commercial interest of the requester: 5 U.S.C. §

APPLICATION OF WEAVER'S COVE ENERGY, LLC FOR AUTHORIZATION TO SITE, CONSTRUCT AND OPERATE LIQUEFIED NATURAL GAS 

RECEIVING TERMINAL, DOCKET NO. CP04-36-0. Letter dated December 23,2003, from G. Mark Cook, Attorney for Weaver's Cove Energy, LLC, to Ms. 

Magalie Salas, Secretary, FERC. As noted in the first paragraph of said letter: On December 18, 2003, Weaver's Cove Energy, LLC, submitted its Application 

For Authorization of a Liquefied Natural Gas ("LNG") Receiving Tenninal in Fall River, Massachusetts. Included with such application was'Weaver's Cove 

Environmental Report. Certain pages were "inadvertently" omitted from portions of Resource Report No.4 to that Environmental Report. The "missing" pages 

were attached to Attorney Cook's December 23rd letter in a separate envelope labeled: Contains Privileged Information - Do Not Release pursuant to 18 C.F.R. 

Section 388.112. The proposed LNG location has been designated a Public Involvement Plan (PIP) Site under the Massachusetts Contingency Plan (MCP) 310 

CMR 40.0000 for response actions tracked under R)"N 4-0749 (1989) for the release of petroleum products and RTN 4-0930 (1990) for the release of gasoline, 

including lead, petroleum based oil, and waste oil. I am a Petitioner under the referenced PIP and am therefore keenly interested in any future development of 

the proposed LNG Site that may adversely impact the ongoing environmental remediation of the Site by Shell Oil Company. The proposed LNG tenninal Site at 

1 New Street in Fall River is bordered in part by the Taunton River, a newly Federally designated Wild &Scenic River. Four primary Federal agencies are 

charged with protecting and managing our Wild & Scenic River System and our nation's cultural, recreational and natural resources, including the National Park 

Service. The writer has therefore provided Mr. Dennis R. Reidenbach, Regional Director, Northeast Regional, National Park Service, with numerous 

environmental documents, letters and reports concerning the extensive environmental contamination at the proposed LNG Site, including copy of a Notice of 

Responsibility issued by the Department of Environmental Protection to Weaver's Cove Energy, LLC, dated May 18, 2010, concerning a "release and/or threat of 

release of an unknown quantity of oil, likely to be greater than 10 gallons, andlor hazardous material at the above-referenced property" into the Taunton River. 

The reason I feel that there is a sense of urgency to this FOIA request is that, according to a recent Email from Mr. Ted Gehrig (Hess LNG) to Mr. David 

Swearingen (FERC), National Parks Director Jonathan Jarvis reported that in the future his regional staff would be making a second filing with FERC staff. I feel 

it is imperative, therefore, that the National Park Service be privy to any and all environmental infonnalion available in order for Director Jarvis' staff to prepare a 

complete and comprehensive filing. 

According to 18 C.F.R. 388.112 (b)(1 )0) Procedures, a person claiming that information is privileged, rnust file a written statement requesting privileged 

treatment for some or all of the infonnation in a document, and the justification for nondisclosure of the infonnation. Unfortunately, I see no such "justification" 

given in Attorney Cook's December 23, 2003, request that the "inadvertently omitted" pages from portions of Resource Report NO.4 now be "treated as 

privileged and confidential." 

According to FERC's Guidelines for Filing Critical Energy Infrastructure Information (CEil): (1) The Critical Energy Infrastructure Infonmation (CEil) process is 

not intended as a mechanism for companies to withhold from public access infonnation that does not pose a risk of attack on the energy infrastructure; and (2) 

The Commission has continuing concern for CEil filing abuses and will take action against applicants or parties who knowingly misfile infonnation as CEil, 

including rejection of applications in which infonnation is mislabeled as CEil. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION RECEIVED VIA E-MAIL: May 5,2011,1 am neither 

a commercial requester nor an educational or non-commerCial scientific institution. I am an individual requester. I am willing to pay a fee of up to $25 for the 

requested documents. I understand that the Commission will notify me in the event that the Commission estimates that the fee will exceed that amount, and 

will be given a(l opportunity to reconsider my request at that time, In the event that the documents prove to contain infonnation that would be of interest to the 

National Park Service, I would seek a fee waiver accordingly. Documentlnfonnalion found in FERC eLibrary: Docket # CP04-36, SubDocket: 000, Accession 

# 20031231-0206

Suhiect: CONTACT INFO: 207-853-29221 info@savepassamaquoddybay.org. New due date: 8/26/11. Request amended: 7/29/11. EXPEDITED TREATMENT 

RESPONSE DUE: 8/5/11. Clarification received: July 25, 2011. Received via e-mail: Tuesday, July 11, 2011. This request is regarding the Downeast LNG 

import terminal applications, Docket No. CP07 -52, et al. Save Passamaquoddy Bay is an official intervenor in this matter. 1) The name(s) and job title(s) of the 

person(s) responsible for maintaining FERC LNG terminal application permitting checklists indicating exactly what permitting requirements have and have not 

been completed by the applicant; 2) A copy of the current Checklist status for the Downeast LNG import terminal application. 3) The text of any existing 

regulation, law, or poliCy giving FERC the authority to refuse providing the public or intervenors with the checklist status of an LNG formal application. Failing 

existence of such regulation, law, or policy, we request a statement indicating same. Expedited Urgency: yes. Expedited Justification: Downeast LNG is now 

over 2 years late in providing FERC with requested information arising from the Draft Environmental Impact Statement. The public should already have been able 

to track the permitting status, other than simply being informed by FERC that the Final EIS, will be issued when the applicant has completed all requirements. 

The public has already been made to wait two years beyond the FERC 2009 July 6 deadline for the applicant to comply with information requests. The impact of 

the project's permitting has already taken a great toll on relationships between area family members, among friends, between communities, between New 

Brunswick and Maine, and between the US and Canada. Considerable expense has been incurred by the public (individuals and NGOs) during this process, and 

the requested information may disclose whether or not additional funds will be required in the future and must be raised. The permit applicant has millions of 

dollars at its disposal -- to the disadvantage of the public that must raise what funds it can to be involved in the process. Without expedited processing of our 

request, the public would be without substantive inforrnationregarding the project's permitting status, placing the public at an even greater disadvantage. 

Expedited Processing Certify: I Certify Payment of Fees: Request a waiver or reduction of fees. SpecifiedAmount: $ 200.00. Fee Waiver Justification: I 

represent Save Passamaquoddy Bay, and the request is made as part of our free news gathering and online news dissemination service to the general public via 

our website <http://www.savepassamaquoddybay.org/> and through news releases to local, state, national, and international news services. The information 

requested is not for commercial use, and is not for my or Save Passamaquoddy Bay's financial benefit. Save Passamaquoddy Bay is a Maine Non-Profit 

corporation (NGO) whose sole purpose is related to LNG projects in Passamaquoddy Bay, including dissemination of news regarding those projects. 8/25111­
