[Project No. 2411-030]

Eagle Creek Schoolfield, LLC, City of Danville; Notice of Intent 
To Prepare an Environmental Assessment

    On July 29, 2022, Eagle Creek Schoolfield and the City of Danville 
filed a relicense application for the 4.5-megawatt Schoolfield 
Hydroelectric Project No. 2411. The project is located on the Dan River 
in Pittsylvania County near the City of Danville, Virginia.
    In accordance with the Commission's regulations, on September 19, 
2024, Commission staff issued a notice that the project was ready for 
environmental analysis (REA Notice). Based on the information in the 
record, including comments filed on the REA Notice, staff does not 
anticipate that licensing the project would constitute a major Federal 
action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment. 
Therefore, staff intends to prepare an Environmental Assessment (EA) on 
the application to relicense the project.\1\

    \1\ In accordance with the Council on Environmental Quality's 
regulations, the unique identification number for documents relating 
to this environmental review is EAXX-019-20-000-1733139578. 40 CFR 
1501.5(c)(4) (2024).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The EA will be issued and circulated for review by all interested 
parties. All comments filed on the EA will be analyzed by staff and 
considered in the Commission's final licensing decision.
    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, 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 [email protected].
    The application will be processed according to the following 
schedule. The EA will be issued for a 30-day comment period. Revisions 
to the schedule may be made as appropriate.
