l. Project Description: The Lyonsdale 

Project includes a dam that consists of: 

(1) a 27.5-foot-long intake structure with 

two 10.5-foot-long slide gates that are 

equipped with a trashrack with 2.6-inch 

clear bar spacing; (2) a 57-foot-long nonoverflow section with a 5-foot-long 

debris sluice gate; (3) a 149-foot-long 

section that includes: (a) a 21.5-footlong spillway with 1.7-foot-high 

flashboards that have a crest elevation of 

1,065.9 feet National Geodetic Vertical 

Dam of 1929 (NGVD 29); (b) a 28.5-footlong section with a 20.5-foot-long 

Pelican gate; and (c) an 85.3-foot-long 

spillway with 3-foot-high flashboards 

that have a crest elevation of 1,065.9 feet 

NGVD 29; (4) a 39.5-foot-long overflow 

section that includes a 33.5-foot-long 

spillway with 3-foot-high flashboards 

that have a crest elevation of 1,065.9 feet 

NGVD 29; (5) a 185-foot-long earthen 

embankment; and (6) a 48-foot-long 

overflow section that includes a 38-footlong spillway with 3-foot-high 

flashboards that have a crest elevation of 

1,065.9 feet NGVD 29. 

The dam creates an impoundment 

that has a surface area of 9 acres at an 

elevation of 1,065.9 feet NGVD 29. The 

impoundment includes a 100-foot-long 

forebay. From the forebay, water flows 

through the two sluice gates of the 

intake structure to a 52-foot-long 

penstock and a 26-foot-long penstock 

that convey water to two 1.5–MW 

vertical Kaplan turbine-generators 

located in a 35-foot-wide, 58-foot-long 

powerhouse, for a total installed 

capacity of 3 MW. Water is discharged 

from the turbines to an approximately 

450-foot-long tailrace that discharges to 

the Moose River. 

The project creates the following 

bypassed reach segments: (1) an 

approximately 200-foot-long southern 

segment; and (2) an approximately 70- 

foot-long segment that bifurcates into an 

approximately 350-foot-long middle 

segment and an approximately 580-footlong northern segment. 

Electricity generated at the project is 

transmitted to the electric grid via two 

400-foot-long, 4.16-kilovolt (kV) 

generator lead lines and a 4.16/115-kV 

step-up transformer. 

The minimum and maximum 

hydraulic capacities of the powerhouse 

are 260 and 1,400 cubic feet per second 

(cfs), respectively. The average annual 

energy production of the project from 

2016 through 2023, was 10,745 

megawatt-hours. 

Existing project recreation facilities 

include: (1) an access trail on the north 

shoreline of the impoundment that 

consists of an approximately 1,000-footlong ‘‘North Bank Recreation Trail’’ and 

an approximately 1,000-foot-long 

portage trail; and (2) a parking area on 

the 185-foot-long earthen embankment. 

Lyonsdale Associates operates the 

project in a run-of-river mode by 

maintaining the surface elevation of the 

impoundment at the flashboard crest 

elevation of 1,065.9 feet NGVD 29. 

Lyonsdale Associates proposes to: (1) 

continue operating the project in a runof-river mode; (2) release a minimum 

flow of 33 cfs or inflow, whichever is 

less, to the bypassed reach from April 1 

through November 30; (3) implement an 

Invasive Species Management Plan and 

a Bat and Eagle Management Plan filed 

in Appendix C of the license 

application; (4) consult with the New 

York State Historic Preservation Office 

(SHPO) on the need for any measures 

prior to any ground-disturbing 

activities; and (5) stop work and consult 

with the New York SHPO on the need 

for any measures if previously 

unidentified cultural resources are 

discovered during any future 

construction activities at the project. 

Lyonsdale Associates also proposes 

measures for providing recreation 

opportunities, including: (1) continue 

maintaining the access trail on the north 

shoreline of the impoundment, 

including the North Bank Recreation 

Trail and portage trail; (2) maintain an 

existing impoundment access site, 

portage put-in site, picnic area, and 

South Bank Recreation Area as project 

recreation facilities; (3) update and 

maintain project recreation signs; (4) 

install new directional signs for the 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1
Federal Register / Vol. 90, No. 16 / Monday, January 27, 2025 / Notices 8207 

portage route and North Bank 

Recreation Trail; and (5) install barriers 

at the picnic area and portage trail to 

deter all-terrain vehicle access.

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

n. Scoping Process: 

Pursuant to the National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), 

Commission staff will prepare either an 

environmental assessment (EA) or an 

environmental impact statement (EIS) 

(collectively referred to as the ‘‘NEPA 

document’’) that describes and evaluates 

the probable effects, including an 

assessment of the site-specific and 

cumulative effects, if any, of the 

proposed action and alternatives. The 

Commission’s scoping process will help 

determine the required level of analysis 

and satisfy the NEPA scoping 

requirements, irrespective of whether 

the Commission issues an EA or an EIS. 

At this time, we do not anticipate 

holding on-site scoping meetings. 

Instead, we are soliciting written 

comments and suggestions on the 

preliminary list of issues and 

alternatives to be addressed in the 

NEPA document, as described in 

scoping document 1 (SD1), issued 

January 16, 2025. 

Copies of the SD1 outlining the 

proposed project and subject areas to be 

addressed in the NEPA document were 

distributed to the parties on the 

Commission’s mailing list and the 

applicant’s distribution list. Copies of 

SD1 may be viewed on the web at 

http://www.ferc.gov using the 

‘‘eLibrary’’ link (see item m above).
