46692 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 158 / Thursday, August 19, 2021 / Notices 

The Commission’s Rules of Practice 

and Procedure require all intervenors 

filing documents with the Commission 

to serve a copy of that document on 

each person on the official service list 

for the project. Further, if an intervenor 

files comments or documents with the 

Commission relating to the merits of an 

issue that may affect the responsibilities 

of a particular resource agency, they 

must also serve a copy of the document 

on that resource agency. 

l. The application is not ready for 

environmental analysis at this time. 

m. The existing Sugar River II 

Hydroelectric Project consists of: (1) A 

113.5-foot-long, 10-foot-high reinforced 

concrete dam that includes the 

following sections: (a) A 35-foot-long 

left abutment section with a cut-off wall; 

(b) a 42.5-foot-long spillway section 

with a crest elevation of 822 feet 

National Geodetic Vertical Datum 1929 

(NGVD 29) that contains: (i) Two 11.5- 

foot-wide, 10-foot-high stanchion bays 

equipped with wooden stop logs; (ii) a 

13-foot-wide, 10-foot-high 

hydraulically-operated steel slide gate; 

and (iii) a 3-foot-wide sluiceway; and (c) 

a 36-foot-long right abutment section 

with a cut-off wall; (2) a 1.4-acre 

impoundment with a storage capacity of 

11 acre-feet at an elevation of 822 feet 

NGVD 29; (3) a 14-foot-wide, 12-foothigh intake structure adjacent to the 

right abutment equipped with a 

trashrack with 1-inch clear bar spacing; 

(4) a 650-foot-long buried penstock that 

includes a 400-foot-long, 7-footdiameter steel section and a 250-footlong, 7-foot-diameter concrete section; 

(5) a 35-foot-long, 27-foot-wide concrete 

and brick masonry powerhouse 

containing a single 200-kilowatt 

Francis-type turbine-generator unit; (6) a 

75-foot-long, 4.16-kilovolt overhead 

transmission line and a transformer that 

connects the project to the local utility 

distribution system; and (7) appurtenant 

facilities. 

Downstream fish passage facilities 

include the 3-foot-wide sluiceway in the 

dam spillway and a 3-foot-deep plunge 

pool located downstream of the 

stanchion bays. The project also 

includes an existing parking area on the 

north bank of the project’s 

impoundment. 

Article 402 of the current license 

requires the licensee to operate the 

project in an instantaneous run-of-river 

mode. The project is operated in a runof-river mode by manually raising and 

lowering the spillway slide gate, and 

removing/adding stop logs to the 

stanchion bays to pass flows and 

maintain a constant impoundment 

water surface elevation of 822 feet 

NGVD 29. The project creates an 

approximately 400-foot-long bypassed 

reach of the Sugar River. 

Article 403 of the current license, as 

amended on June 27, 1996, requires a 

minimum flow release to the bypassed 

reach of: (1) 15 cubic feet per second 

(cfs) or inflow, whichever is less, 

through the downstream fishway from 

June 16 through March 31 to protect 

aquatic resources and water quality in 

the bypassed reach; and (2) 20 cfs from 

April 1 through June 15, during the 

downstream migration season for 

Atlantic Salmon smolts. The average 

annual energy production of the project 

from 2010 to 2015 was 650.44 MWh. 

New Hampshire Renewable proposes 

to: (1) Continue to operate the project in 

an instantaneous run-of-river mode, 

such that project outflow approximates 

inflow; (2) release a year-round 

minimum flow of 15 cfs; (3) install an 

automation system to operate the project 

in a run-of-river mode; and (4) consult 

with the New Hampshire State Historic 

Preservation Officer before beginning 

any land-disturbing activities or 

alterations to known historic structures 

within the project boundary.

p. Scoping Process 

Commission staff will prepare either 

an environmental assessment (EA) or an 

Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) 

that describes and evaluates the 

probable effects, if any, of the licensee’s 

proposed action and alternatives. The 

EA or EIS will consider environmental 

impacts and reasonable alternatives to 

the proposed action. The Commission’s 

scoping process will help determine the 

required level of analysis and satisfy the 

NEPA scoping requirements, 

irrespective of whether the Commission 

prepares 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 

August 13, 2021. 

Copies of the SD1 outlining the 

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 the SD1 may be viewed on the 

web at http://www.ferc.gov using the 

‘‘eLibrary’’ link. Enter the docket 

number excluding the last three digits in 

the docket number field to access the 

document. For assistance, call 1–866–

[Project No. 2879–012] 

Green Mountain Power Corporation; 

Notice of Availability of Draft 

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 license for the Bolton 

Falls Hydroelectric Project, located on 

the Winooski River in Washington 

County, Vermont, and has prepared a 

Draft Environmental Assessment (DEA) 

for the project. No federal land is 

occupied by project works or located 

within the project boundary. 

The DEA 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 

internet through the Commission’s 

Home Page (http://www.ferc.gov/), using 

the ‘‘eLibrary’’ link. Enter the docket 

number, excluding the last three digits 

in the docket number field, to access the 

document. At this time, the Commission 

has suspended access to the 

Commission’s Public Reference Room,
