Erie Boulevard Hydropower, L.P.; Notice of Availability of 
Environmental Assessment

July 30, 2008.
    An environmental assessment (EA) is available for public review. 
The EA was prepared for an application filed by Erie Boulevard 
Hydropower, L.P on April 21, 2008, requesting the Commission's 
authorization to permit the Saratoga County Water Authority (SCWA) to 
withdraw water at a rate of 14 million gallons per day from the Sherman 
Island reservoir for municipal use.
    The EA evaluates the environmental impacts that would result from 
permitting the SCWA to withdraw water from the Sherman Island 
reservoir. The proposal would include the construction of a screened 
intake facility placed on the bottom of the reservoir and a section of 
buried pipe that would extend to a pumping station located outside the 
project boundary. The EA finds that approval of the application would 
not constitute a major federal action significantly affecting the 
quality of the human environment.
    A copy of the EA is attached to a Commission order titled ``Order 
Approving Non-Project Use of Lands and Waters'', issued July 30, 2008 
and is available for review at the Commission in the Public Reference 
Room, or it may be viewed on the Commission's Web site at http://
www.ferc.gov using the eLibrary link. Enter the docket number ``P-
2482'' in the docket field to access the document. For assistance, call 
toll-free 1-(866)-208-3372 or (202) 502-8659 (for TTY).
