after October 6, 1995, are not subject to

fines and penalties related to the RCRA

storage prohibitions for their mixed

waste.

III. Activities in Progress

During January and February 1995,

DOE site offices met with

representatives of the States that host

the largest DOE facilities to provide

information on the overall

Environmental Management budget for

their sites, and the work in progress and

work that needs to be accomplished

within that budget.1 These general

discussions were supplemented by

specific discussions on the activities

and associated schedules to be proposed

in the Site Treatment Plans, along with

potential funding impacts on those

activities. The smaller DOE sites were

also encouraged to hold discussions

with their States during this period on

their proposed schedules and funding

situation.

In addition, in February 1995, DOE,

the affected States, EPA, and Tribal

representatives again met collectively to

discuss funding issues related to all of

DOE’s environmental management

activities as well as to Site Treatment

Plan activities, and to discuss strategies

for working cooperatively to address

anticipated funding limitations.

DOE believes that communication

with, and the involvement of affected

States, EPA, Tribal representatives, and

other interested parties is essential in

developing Proposed Plans that are

acceptable to the regulatory agency and

the public. However, DOE does not

expect that all concerns or questions

about the schedules for new facilities,

particularly for large and costly

facilities, will be resolved before the

Proposed Plans are submitted. DOE, like

many other Federal agencies, will face

increasingly limited funding in the

future. Accordingly, DOE anticipates

that discussions will continue with

regulatory agencies and the public after

the Proposed Plans are submitted on the

relative priority of mixed waste

treatment and other environmental

management activities at each site and

across the DOE complex before the

Plans and schedules are approved.

Federal Energy Regulatory

Commission

[Project No. 11058 Massachusetts]

A.L.L. Natural Resources, Inc.; Notice

of Availability of Final Environmental

Assessment

February 22, 1995.

In accordance with the National

Environmental Policy Act of 1969 and

the Federal Energy Regulatory

Commission’s (Commission’s)

regulations, 18 CFR Part 380 (Order No.

486, 52 FR 47897), the Office of

Hydropower Licensing has reviewed the

application for minor license for the

proposed Fitchburg Paper Mill Dam #4

Hydroelectric Project located on the

North Nashua River in the City of

Fitchburg, Worcester County,

Massachusetts, and has prepared a Final

Environmental Assessment (FEA) for

the proposed project. In the FEA, the

Commission’s staff has analyzed the

potential environmental impacts of the

proposed project and has concluded

that approval of the proposed project,

with appropriate mitigation measures,

would not constitute a major federal

action significantly affecting the quality

of the human environment.

Copies of the FEA are available for

review in the Public Reference Branch,

Room 3104, of the Commission’s offices

at 941 North Capitol Street, N.E.,

Washington, DC 20426.

Intent to Hold a Public Meeting in

Newport, Vermont, to Discuss Staff’s

Draft Environmental Impact Statement

(DEIS) for the Clyde River

Hydroelectric Project

February 22, 1995.

On February 3, 1995, the Commission

staff mailed the Clyde River DEIS to the

Environmental Protection Agency,

resource and land management

agencies, and interested organizations

and individuals. This document

evaluates the environmental

consequences of operating the

applicant’s existing 6.5-megawatt (MW)

hydroelectric project, located on the

Clyde River in northern Vermont, near

the town of Newport.

The applicant proposes to: (1) Operate

run-of-river at the Seymore Lake, Echo

Pond, and West Charleston

developments; (2) limit pond

fluctuations at the Newport 1,2,3

development; provide minimum flows

in the bypassed reaches of West

Charleston and Newport No. 11

developments and the lower bypass

reach of the Newport 1,2,3

development; provide a fish passage

flow and various enhancements for

recreation and other environmental

resources.

The subject DEIS also evaluates the

environmental effects of: (1) The project

as proposed; (2) the proposed project

with additional modifications and

enhancements;(3) removal of Newport

No. 11 dam with and without

repowering the Newport No. 11

powerhouse; and (4) the no action

alternative.

The public meetings on the Clyde

River Project will be recorded by an

official stenographer. The meeting will

be held from 7:00 P.M. to 11:00 P.M. on

Tuesday, March 14, 1995, at the North

Country Union High School on Veterans
