          - [Project No. 2685-029]

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 Blenheim-Gilboa Pumped Storage Project, located on Schoharie Creek, in the Towns of Blenheim and Gilboa in Schoharie County, New York, and has prepared a draft Environmental Assessment (EA) for the project.

The draft 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.

                    A copy of the draft EA is available for review at the Commission in the Public Reference Room or may be viewed on the Commission's website at                     *http://www.ferc.gov*                     using the eLibrary link.
