DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Project No. 2601–077] 

Northbrook Hydro Carolina II, LLC; 

Notice of Revised Schedule for 

Environmental Review 

On November 16, 2023, as 

supplemented on March 11, 2024, and 

April 30, 2024, Northbrook Hydro 

Carolina II, LLC filed an application to 

surrender the project license for the 

Bryson Hydroelectric Project No. 2601. 

The project is located on the 

Oconaluftee River in Swain County, 

North Carolina. The project does not 

occupy any Federal lands. 

The project is located on the 

Oconaluftee River downstream of the 

Great Smoky Mountain National Park 

and the lands of the Eastern Band of 

Cherokee Indians (Qualla Boundary). 

The project boundary abuts the Qualla 

Boundary for 1.5 miles. The proposed 

mode of surrender would include 

disconnection from the utility 

interconnection point and the removal 

of the generators and turbines. The 

licensee would offer the generators, 

control equipment, and wiring for sale 

following decommissioning, or would 

properly dispose of the equipment. The 

proposal includes leaving the dam and 

associated structures intact and 

operational. The licensee intends to 

later deed ownership of the project to 

Mainspring Conservation Land Trust for 

potential future removal of the dam after 

the surrender is final. 

Based on the limited number and 

scope of comments received on the 

Notice of Application Accepted for 

Filing, Commission staff is revising the 

schedule to issue an Environmental 

Assessment (EA) by November 15, 2024, 

and for the EA to be issued for a 15-day 

public comment period.1 Revisions to 

the schedule may be made as 

appropriate. All comments filed on the 

EA will be reviewed by staff and 

considered in the Commission’s final 

decision on the proceeding. 

The Commission’s Office of Public 

Participation (OPP) supports meaningful 

public engagement and participation in 

Commission proceedings. OPP can help 

members of the public, including 

landowners, environmental justice 

communities, Tribal members, and 

others to access publicly available 

information and navigate Commission 

processes. For public inquiries and 

assistance with making filings such as 

interventions, comments, or requests for 

rehearing, the public is encouraged to 

contact OPP at (202) 502–6595 or OPP@
