3The Council on Environmental Quality 

regulations addressing cooperating agency 

responsibilities are at Title 40, Code of Federal 

Regulations, Part 1501.6. 

4The Advisory Council on Historic Preservation’s 

regulations are at Title 36, Code of Federal 

Regulations, Part 800. Those regulations define 

historic properties as any prehistoric or historic 

district, site, building, structure, or object included 

in or eligible for inclusion in the National Register 

of Historic Places. 

The EA Process 

The EA will discuss impacts that 

could occur as a result of the 

construction and operation of the 

proposed project under these general 

headings: 

• Geology and soils; 

• land use; 

• water resources, fisheries, and 

wetlands; 

• cultural resources; 

• vegetation and wildlife; 

• air quality and noise; 

• endangered and threatened species; 

• public safety; and 

• cumulative impacts. 

Commission staff will also evaluate 

reasonable alternatives to the proposed 

project or portions of the project, and 

make recommendations on how to 

lessen or avoid impacts on the various 

resource areas. 

The EA will present Commission 

staffs’ independent analysis of the 

issues. The EA will be available in the 

public record through eLibrary.2

Commission staff will consider and 

address all comments on the EA before 

making recommendations to the 

Commission. To ensure Commission 

staff have the opportunity to address 

your comments, please carefully follow 

the instructions in the Public 

Participation section, beginning on page 

2. 

With this notice, the Commission is 

asking agencies with jurisdiction by law 

and/or special expertise with respect to 

the environmental issues of this project 

to formally cooperate in the preparation 

of the EA.3 Agencies that would like to 

request cooperating agency status 

should follow the instructions for filing 

comments provided under the Public 

Participation section of this notice. 

Consultation Under Section 106 of the 

National Historic Preservation Act 

In accordance with the Advisory 

Council on Historic Preservation’s 

implementing regulations for section 

106 of the National Historic 

Preservation Act, the Commission is are 

using this notice to initiate consultation 

with the applicable State Historic 

Preservation Office (SHPO), and to 

solicit their views and those of other 

government agencies, interested Indian 

tribes, and the public on the project’s 

potential effects on historic properties.4

Commission staff will define the 

project-specific Area of Potential Effects 

(APE) in consultation with the SHPO as 

the project develops. On natural gas 

facility projects, the APE at a minimum 

encompasses all areas subject to ground 

disturbance (examples include 

construction right-of-way, contractor/ 

pipe storage yards, compressor stations, 

and access roads). The EA for this 

project will document findings on the 

impacts on historic properties and 

summarize the status of consultations 

under section 106. 

Environmental Mailing List 

The environmental mailing list 

includes federal, state, and local 

government representatives and 

agencies; elected officials; Native 

American Tribes; and local libraries and 

newspapers. This list also includes all 

affected landowners (as defined in the 

Commission’s regulations) who are 

potential right-of-way grantors, whose 

property may be used temporarily for 

project purposes, or who own homes 

within certain distances of aboveground 

facilities, and anyone who submits 

comments on the project. Commission 

staff will update the environmental 

mailing list as the analysis proceeds to 

ensure that information related to this 

environmental review is sent to all 

individuals, organizations, and 

government entities interested in and/or 

potentially affected by the proposed 

project. 

As stated above, the EA will be 

available in the public record through 

the Commission’s eLibrary, under the 

Docket Number CP18–533–000.

Commission 

[Project No. 14872–000] 

Peterson Machinery Sales; Notice of 

Preliminary Permit Application 

Accepted for Filing and Soliciting 

Comments, Motions To Intervene, and 

Competing Applications 

On March 19, 2018, Peterson 

Machinery Sales filed an application for 

a preliminary permit, pursuant to 

section 4(f) of the Federal Power Act, 

proposing to study the feasibility of the 

Hubbardston Hydroelectric Project 

(project) to be located on the Fish Creek, 

near Hubbardston, in Ionia County, 

Michigan. The sole purpose of a 

preliminary permit, if issued, is to grant 

the permit holder priority to file a 

license application during the permit 

term. A preliminary permit does not 

authorize the permit holder to perform 

any land-disturbing activities or 

otherwise enter upon lands or waters 

owned by others without the owners’ 

express permission. 

The proposed project would be 

located at the site of an existing, nonoperational hydroelectric project 

previously operated by Hope Renewable 

Energy, LLC without a Commission 

license. The proposed run-of-river 

project will involve rehabilitation and 

upgrade of the following existing 

facilities: (1) A 60-acre, 600-acre-foot 

reservoir with normal surface elevation 

of 850 feet mean sea level; (2) a 350- 

foot-long, 25 to 30-foot-high 

combination dam and spillway 

incorporating a 80-foot-long, 12-footwide intake channel; (3) a 30-foot-long, 

20-foot-wide, 25-foot-high powerhouse 

containing two Francis turbines and

associated generators with a combined 

installed capacity of 400 kilowatts; (4) a 

600-foot-long tailrace; and (5) 

appurtenant facilities. The estimated 

average annual generation of the project 

would be 3,500 megawatt-hours that 

would be conveyed from the 

powerhouse to the grid via a 

transmission line owned by Consumers 

Energy.
