l. The existing Cocheco Falls Dam 

Project consists of: (1) A 150-foot-long, 

13.5-foot-high stone masonry arch dam 

that includes the following sections: (a) 

A 4-foot-long left abutment section; (b) 

a 140-foot-long spillway section with 

24-inch-high flashboards, a 5-foot-wide, 

10-foot-high low-level outlet gate, and a 

crest elevation of 36.25 feet National 

Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929 

(NGVD29) at the top of the flashboards; 

and (c) a 6-foot-long right abutment 

section with a 4-foot-wide, 9-foot-high 

debris sluice gate; (2) an impoundment 

with a surface area of 20 acres and a 

storage capacity of 150 acre-feet at an 

elevation of 36.25 feet NGVD29; (3) a 

64-foot-wide, 10-foot-high intake 

structure equipped with a trashrack 

with 1-inch clear bar spacing; (4) an 8.5- 

foot-diameter, 184-foot-long gated steel 

penstock that trifurcates into three 5- 

foot-diameter, 8-foot-long sections, each 

controlled by a 5-foot-diameter butterfly 

valve; (5) a 40-foot-long, 40-foot-wide 

concrete and brick masonry powerhouse 

containing three 238-kW vertical Flygt 

submersible turbine-generator units for 

a total installed capacity of 714 kW; (6) 

a 40-foot-long, 40-foot-wide tailrace that 

discharges into the Cocheco River; (7) a 

0.48/34.5-kilovolt (kV) step-up 

transformer and a 1,000-foot-long, 34.5- 

kV underground transmission line that 

connects the project to the local utility 

distribution system; and (8) appurtenant 

facilities. 

CFA voluntarily operates the project 

in a run-of-river mode using an 

automatic pond level control system to 

regulate turbine operation, such that 

outflow from the project approximates 

inflow. The project creates an 

approximately 200-foot-long bypassed 

reach of the Cocheco River. 

Downstream fish passage is provided 

by a bypass facility located on the left 

side of the dam that consist of a 5.6-footwide, 7-foot-long fish collection box, a 

trashrack with 6-inch clear bar spacing, 

and a 24-inch-diameter PVC fish 

passage pipe. Upstream fish passage is 

provided by a Denil fish ladder located 

on the right side of the dam. The Denil 

fish ladder is owned and maintained by 

the New Hampshire Fish and Game 

Department, and is not a project facility. 

Article 25 of the current license, as 

amended on September 24, 2002, 

requires a minimum flow release to the 

bypassed reach of: (1) 20 cubic feet per 

second (cfs) through the fish ladder 

from April 15–June 30; (2) 20 cfs 

through the trash sluiceway from April 

15–June 15, to attract anadromous fish 

to the fish ladder; and (3) 20 cfs through 

the downstream fish passage facility 

from April 15 until ice forms on the 

river. The average annual energy 

production from 2014 to 2018 was 1,438 

megawatt-hours 

CFA proposes to: (1) Continue to 

operate the project in a run-of-river 

mode; (2) continue to facilitate upstream 

and downstream fish passage by 

providing the minimum flows required 

by the current license; (3) design and 

install an upstream eel passage facility 

at the Denil fish ladder location within 

4 years of the effective date of a 

subsequent license; 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.

o. 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. Due to 

concerns with large gatherings related to 

COVID–19, we do not intend to conduct 

a public scoping meeting and site visit 

in this case. 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 June 

8, 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 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– 

208–3676 or for TTY, (202) 502–8659.
