l. The Stuyvesant Falls Hydroelectric 

Project is located on Kinderhook Creek 

in Columbia County, New York. All 

project features pre-date the license by 

80 years, and there were no operational 

changes or construction when the 

project was licensed in 1980, backdated 

to 1965. The Stuyvesant Falls 

Hydroelectric Project consists of a 13- 

foot-high, 240-foot-long, masonry 

gravity dam and stone and concrete 

intake structure that impounds 

Kinderhook Creek, forming a 46-acre 

reservoir with a normal pool elevation 

of 174.3 feet USGS datum. A Taintor 

gate and trash sluice is located near the 

south abutment of the gravity dam. The 

intake structure is enclosed in a 

prefabricated steel intake house and 

carries water from the reservoir to two 

7.5-foot-diameter, 2,860-foot-long, 

riveted-steel pipelines. From the 

pipelines, water flows into a 25-footdiameter surge tank. Water is then 

transported from the surge tank to a 

brick and steel powerhouse via two 200- 

foot-long steel penstocks. The 

powerhouse contains a single 2.8- 

megawatt horizontal double runner 

Francis turbine.

n. Scoping Process. 

The Commission intends to prepare

EA will consider both site-specific and 

cumulative environmental impacts and 

reasonable alternatives to the proposed 

action. 

Scoping Meetings 

FERC staff will conduct one daytime 

scoping meeting and one evening 

scoping meeting. The daytime scoping 

meeting will focus on resource agency 

and non-governmental organization 

(NGO) concerns, while the evening 

scoping meeting is primarily for public 

input. All interested individuals, 

organizations, and agencies are invited 

to attend one or both of the meetings, 

and to assist the staff in identifying the 

scope of the environmental issues that 

should be analyzed in the EA. The times

participants all available information, 

especially quantifiable data, on the 

resources at issue; (3) encourage 

statements from experts and the public 

on issues that should be analyzed in the 

EA, including viewpoints in opposition 

to, or in support of, the staff’s 

preliminary views; (4) determine the 

resource issues to be addressed in the 

EA; and (5) identify those issues that 

require a detailed analysis, as well as 

those issues that do not require a 

detailed analysis. 

Procedures
