will hold a public scoping meeting 

specifically to identify cumulatively 

effected resources and to help identify 

the incremental effect of licensing these 

five Connecticut River projects with 

other past, present and reasonably 

foreseeable future actions within the 

Connecticut River Basin. We invite all 

interested agencies, Indian tribes, NGOs, 

and individuals to attend the 

Cumulative Effects scoping meeting to 

assist us in identifying cumulatively 

effected resources and the associated 

geographic scope that should be 

analyzed in the EIS. The time and

Effects—Daytime Scoping Meeting 

Date & Time: Thursday, January 31, 

2013 at 9:00 a.m. 

Location: Great Falls Discovery 

Center, 2 Avenue A., Turners Falls, MA 

01376, (413) 863–3221.

www.greatfallsma.org/. 

Scoping Document 1 (SD1), which 

outlines the subject areas to be 

addressed in the environmental 

document, was mailed to the 

individuals and entities on the 

Commission’s mailing list. Copies of 

SD1 will be available at the scoping 

meetings, or may be viewed on the Web 

at http://www.ferc.gov, using the 

‘‘eLibrary’’ link. Follow the directions 

for accessing information in paragraph 

n. Based on all oral and written 

comments, a Scoping Document 2 (SD2) 

may be issued. SD2 may include a 

revised process plan and schedule, as 

well as a list of issues, identified 

through the scoping process. 

Meeting Objectives 

At the scoping meetings, staff will: (1) 

Initiate scoping of the issues; (2) review 

and discuss existing conditions and 

resource management objectives; (3) 

review and discuss existing information 

and identify preliminary information 

and study needs; (4) review and discuss 

the process plan and schedule for prefiling activity that incorporates the time 

frames provided for in Part 5 of the 

Commission’s regulations and, to the 

extent possible, maximizes coordination 

of federal, state, and tribal permitting 

and certification processes; and (5) 

discuss the appropriateness of any 

federal or state agency or Indian tribe 

acting as a cooperating agency for 

development of an environmental 

document. 

Meeting participants should come 

prepared to discuss their issues and/or 

concerns. Please review the PAD in 

preparation for the scoping meetings. 

Directions on how to obtain a copy of 

the PAD and SD1 are included in item 

n. of this document. 

Meeting Procedures 

The meetings will be recorded by a 

stenographer and will be placed in the 

public records of the project. 

Environmental Site Review 

An environmental site review is 

typically held in conjunction with the 

Commission’s NEPA scoping meetings. 

However, Commission staff anticipated 

that access to some project facilities 

would be limited by winter weather 

conditions during the early part of 2013 

when scoping for these projects was 

scheduled. For this reason, and to 

provide all interested stakeholders an 

opportunity to view the projects’ 

facilities, the Commission hosted the 

environmental site reviews in October 

2012, before the onset of winter. Public 

notice of the environmental site reviews 

was issued on August 3, 2012, and 

published in eight newspapers from the 

Connecticut River projects’ region. The 

site visits were widely attended by 

individuals representing, local, state, 

and federal government agencies, NGOs, 

and members of the public. At this time, 

the Commission does not intend to host 

any future environmental site reviews 

for these five Connecticut River projects.
