DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Project No. 2816–050; Project No. 12766– 

007] 

North Hartland, LLC; Green Mountain 

Power Corporation; Notice of 

Availability of 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 a new license for the 

North Hartland Hydroelectric Project 

No. 2816 (North Hartland Project), and 

the application for a new license for the 

Clay Hill Road Line 66 Transmission 

Project No. 12766 (Clay Hill Project), 

and has prepared an Environmental 

Assessment (EA) for the projects. The 

North Hartland Project is on the 

Ottauquechee River in Windsor County, 

Vermont, and occupies 20.8 acres of 

federal land administered by the U.S. 

Army Corps of Engineers. The Clay Hill 

Project serves as part of the primary 

transmission line for the North Hartland 

Project, and is located along Clay Hill 

Road in Windsor County, Vermont. 

The EA contains staff’s analysis of the 

potential environmental effects of the 

projects and concludes that licensing 

the projects, 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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Obtaining a Copy of the Proposed 

Consent Decree 

The official public docket for this 

action (identified by Docket ID No. 

EPA–HQ–OGC–2022–0406) contains a 

copy of the proposed consent decree. 

The electronic version of the public 

docket for this action contains a copy of 

the proposed consent decree and is 

available through https://

www.regulations.gov. You may use 

https://www.regulations.gov to submit 

or view public comments, access the

official public docket, and access those 

documents in the public docket that are 

available electronically. Once in the 

system, key in the appropriate docket 

identification number then select 

‘‘search.’’ 

II. Additional Information About the 

Proposed Consent Decree 

Prior to this lawsuit being filed EPA 

received a petition from Plaintiff, dated 

July 24, 2014, to list discarded PVC as 

hazardous waste under RCRA. Plaintiff 

alleges EPA has failed to take action 

with respect to the petition within a 

reasonable time. 

This proposed consent decree states 

that no later than January 20, 2023, 

pursuant to 40 CFR 260.20(c), EPA shall 

sign a tentative decision on Plaintiff’s 

petition to classify discarded PVC as 

hazardous waste under RCRA. 

Furthermore, it states that no later than 

two years after the signature of the 

consent decree by CBD, April 12, 2024, 

EPA shall sign a final decision on 

Plaintiff’s petition. Court approval of 

this proposed consent decree would 

resolve all claims in this case except for 

any claim for the costs of litigation, 

including attorneys’ fees. 

For a period of thirty (30) days 

following the date of publication of this 

document, the Agency will accept 

written comments relating to the 

proposed consent decree from persons 

who are not named as parties to the 

litigation in question. EPA or the 

Department of Justice may withdraw or 

withhold consent to the proposed 

consent decree if the comments disclose 

facts or considerations that indicate that 

such consent is inappropriate, 

improper, inadequate, or inconsistent 

with the requirements of the APA or 

RCRA. Unless EPA or the Department of 

Justice determines that consent should 

be withdrawn, the terms of the proposed 

consent decree will be affirmed. 

III. Additional Information About 

Commenting on the Proposed Consent 

Decree 

Submit your comments, identified by 

Docket ID No. EPA–HQ–OGC–2022– 

0406 via https://www.regulations.gov. 

Once submitted, comments cannot be 

edited or removed from this docket. 

EPA may publish any comment received 

to its public docket. Do not submit to 

EPA’s docket at https://

www.regulations.gov any information 

you consider to be Confidential 

Business Information (CBI) or other 

information whose disclosure is 

restricted by statute. Multimedia 

submissions (audio, video, etc.) must be 

accompanied by a written comment. 

The written comment is considered the 

official comment and should include 

discussion of all points you wish to 

make. EPA will generally not consider 

comments or comment contents located 

outside of the primary submission (i.e., 

on the web, cloud, or other file sharing 

system). For additional submission 

methods, the full EPA public comment 

policy, information about CBI or 

multimedia submissions, and general 

guidance on making effective 

comments, please visit https://

www.epa.gov/dockets/commenting-epadockets. For additional information 

about submitting information identified 

as CBI, please contact the person listed 

in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION

CONTACT section of this document. Note 

that written comments containing CBI 

and submitted by mail may be delayed 

and deliveries or couriers will be 

received by scheduled appointment 

only. 

If you submit an electronic comment, 

EPA recommends that you include your 

name, mailing address, and an email 

address or other contact information in 

the body of your comment. This ensures 

that you can be identified as the 

submitter of the comment and allows 

EPA to contact you in case EPA cannot 

read your comment due to technical 

difficulties or needs further information 

on the substance of your comment. Any 

identifying or contact information 

provided in the body of a comment will 

be included as part of the comment that 

is placed in the official public docket 

and made available in EPA’s electronic 

public docket. If EPA cannot read your 

comment due to technical difficulties 

and cannot contact you for clarification, 

EPA may not be able to consider your 

comment. 

Use of the https://

www.regulations.gov website to submit 

comments to EPA electronically is 

EPA’s preferred method for receiving 

comments. The electronic public docket 

system is an ‘‘anonymous access’’ 

system, which means EPA will not 

know your identity, email address, or 

other contact information unless you 

provide it in the body of your comment. 

Please ensure that your comments are 

submitted within the specified comment 

period. Comments received after the 

close of the comment period will be 

marked ‘‘late.’’ EPA is not required to 

consider these late comments.
