Notice of Intent To Prepare an 

Environmental Assessment 

On March 31, 2020, Eagle Creek 

Hydro Power, LLC, Eagle Creek Water 

Resources, LLC, and Eagle Creek Land 

Resources, LLC (co-licensees 

collectively referred to as Eagle Creek) 

jointly filed an application for a new 

license for each of the ‘‘Mongaup River 

Projects’’ consisting of: (1) The 7.85- 

megawatt (MW) Swinging Bridge 

Hydroelectric Project (Swinging Bridge 

Project); (2) the 4.0-MW Mongaup Falls 

Hydroelectric Project (Mongaup Falls 

Project); and (3) the 10.8-MW Rio 

Hydroelectric Project (Rio Project). The 

Swinging Bridge Project is located on 

the Mongaup River and Black Lake 

Creek in Sullivan County, New York. 

The Mongaup Falls Project is located on 

the Mongaup River and Black Brook in 

Sullivan County, New York. The Rio 

Project is located on the Mongaup River 

in Sullivan and Orange Counties, New 

York. The projects do not occupy any 

federal land. 

In accordance with the Commission’s 

regulations, on January 29, 2021, 

Commission staff issued a notice that 

the project was ready for environmental 

analysis (REA notice).1 Based on the 

information in the record, including 

comments filed on the REA notice and 

an Offer of Settlement (Settlement 

Agreement), filed on May 28, 2021, 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 a multi-project 

Environmental Assessment (EA) on the 

application to license each of the 

Mongaup River Projects. 

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 application will be processed 

according to the following schedule. 

Revisions to the schedule may be made 

as appropriate.
