Fairfax County Water Authority; Notice of Availability of Final 
Environmental Assessment

October 29, 2009.
    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, 
as amended, and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's regulations, 
18 CFR part 380 (Order No. 486, 52 FR 47879), the Commission has 
reviewed an application, filed January 15, 2009, to surrender the 
project license for the Occoquan River Hydroelectric Project, FERC 
Project No. 10828. The Environmental Assessment (EA) analyzes the 
environmental impacts of the proposed license surrender, 
decommissioning of hydroelectric facilities, and various dam safety 
related repairs, and concludes that approval of the application, with 
appropriate environmental measures, would not constitute a major 
federal action significantly affecting the quality of the

human environment. The project is located on the Occoquan River in 
Prince William and Fairfax Counties, Virginia.
    The EA was written by staff in the Office of Energy Projects, 
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission). A copy of the EA is 
attached to a Commission order titled ``Order Modifying and Accepting 
Surrender of License'' issued October 29, 2009, and is on file with the 
Commission and available for public inspections. The EA may also be 
viewed on the Commission's Web site 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
