TransCanada Hydro Northeast Inc.; 

Notice of Technical Conference and 

Environmental Site Review 

TransCanada Hydro Northeast Inc. 

(TransCanada) is currently using the 

Integrated Licensing Process to prepare 

an application for a new license (due to 

be filed on April 30, 2016) for the 

Vernon Hydroelectric Project No. 1904– 

73 (Vernon Project). The 32.4-megawatt 

Vernon Project is located on the 

Connecticut River in Cheshire County, 

New Hampshire and Windsor and 

Windham Counties, Vermont. On 

February 21, 2014, the Director of the 

Office of Energy Projects issued a Study 

Plan Determination requiring 

TransCanada to conduct 21 studies, 

including the development of a plan to 

conduct hydroacoustic studies of 

downstream passage of juvenile 

American shad and adult American eel. 

On March 24, 2014, TransCanada filed 

a request for rehearing of the 

requirement to conduct hydroacoustic 

studies, which is currently pending 

before the Commission. 

On September 15, 2014, TransCanada 

filed its proposed Vernon Hydroacoustic 

Study Plan. To gather additional 

information and assist the Commission 

in its review of the proposed study, 

Commission staff will hold a technical 

conference on November 20, 2014. The 

technical conference will focus on 

discussing the information and studies 

needed to evaluate downstream passage 

of juvenile American shad and adult 

American eel at the Vernon Project, 

including the methods proposed in 

TransCanada’s Vernon Hydroacoustic 

Study Plan. Discussion topics for the 

technical conference are included in 

Appendix A. 

In addition to the technical 

conference, Commission staff will hold 

an environmental site review of the 

Vernon Project on November 19, 2014. 

All local, state, and federal agencies, 

Indian tribes, and other interested 

parties are invited to attend the site 

review and technical conference. The 

technical conference will be transcribed 

by a court reporter. If the number of 

participants wishing to speak at the 

technical conference creates time
