Notice of Availability of Environmental Assessment: Eagle Creek 
Hydro Power, LLC; Eagle Creek Water Resources, LLC; Eagle Creek Land 
Resources, LLC

    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission) 
regulations, 18 CFR part 380, the Office of Energy Projects has 
reviewed the joint application for a new license for each of the 
``Mongaup River Projects'' consisting of the Swinging Bridge 
Hydroelectric Project (Swinging Bridge Project), Mongaup Falls 
Hydroelectric Project (Mongaup Falls Project), and Rio Hydroelectric 
Project (Rio Project). The Swinging Bridge Project is located on the 
Mongaup River and Black Lake Creek in Sullivan County, New York. The 
Mongaup Falls Project is located on the Mongaup River and Black Brook 
in Sullivan County, New York. The Rio Project is located on the Mongaup 
River in Sullivan and Orange Counties, New York. The projects do not 
occupy any federal land.
    The EA contains staff's analysis of the potential environmental 
effects of the Mongaup River Projects and concludes that licensing the 
projects, with appropriate environmental measures, would not constitute 
a major federal action that would significantly affect the quality of 
the human environment.
    The number of pages in the EA exceeds the page limits set forth in 
the Council on Environmental Quality's July 16, 2020 final rule, Update 
to the Regulations Implementing the Procedural Provisions of the 
National Environmental Policy Act (85 FR 43304). Noting the scope and 
complexity of the proposed action and action alternatives, the Director 
of the Office of Energy Projects, as our senior agency official, has 
authorized this page limit exceedance for the EA.
    The Commission provides all interested persons with an opportunity 
to view and/or print the EA via the internet through the Commission's 
Home Page (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. At this time, the Commission has 
suspended access to the Commission's Public Reference Room, due to the 
proclamation declaring a National Emergency concerning the Novel 
Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19), issued by the President on March 13, 
2020. For assistance, contact FERC Online Support at
