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 

an Environmental Assessment (EA) on 

the project in accordance with the 

National Environmental Policy Act. The 

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 

and locations of these meetings are as 

follows:

powerhouse. All participants are 

responsible for their own transportation 

to the site. Please notify Wendy Carey, 

Albany Engineering Corporation at 518– 

456–7712, ext. 401 or 

wendy@albanyengineering.com by

the environmental site review. 

Directions are as follows: 

From Albany, take 90E to Exit 12, US– 

9 toward Hudson. Turn Right onto US– 

9 S. Stay straight through circular onto 

NY–9H S. Take slight right onto CR–25 

into Stuyvesant Falls. Take right onto 

CR–25A. Driveway is on the left 

approximately 500 feet before old 

bridge. 

From Hudson, drive north on 66 to 

9H. Go north on 9H to CR–25. Go south 

on CR–25 into Stuyvesant Falls. Take a

Objectives 

At the scoping meetings, the staff will: 

(1) Summarize the environmental issues 

tentatively identified for analysis in the 

EA; (2) solicit from the meeting 

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 

The meetings are recorded by a 

stenographer and become part of the 

formal record of the Commission 

proceeding on the project. Individuals, 

organizations, and agencies with 

environmental expertise and concerns 

are encouraged to attend the meeting 

and to assist the staff in defining and 

clarifying the issues to be addressed in 

the EA.
