Notice of Availability of Environmental 

Assessment 

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 subsequent license to 

continue to operate and maintain the 

Enosburg Falls Hydroelectric Project No. 

2905 (project). The project is located on 

the Missisquoi River in the Village of 

Enosburg Falls, Franklin County, 

Vermont. Commission staff has 

prepared an Environmental Assessment 

(EA) for the project. 

The 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. 

The Commission provides all 

interested persons with an opportunity 

to view and/or print the EA via the
