Woronoco Hydro, LLC, Notice of Availability of Environmental
Assessment
February 27, 2002.
In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission)
regulations, 18 CFR part 380 (Order No. 486, 52 FR 47897), the Office
of Energy Projects has reviewed the application for license for the
Woronoco Hydroelectric Project, located on the Westfield River in
Hampden County, Massachusetts. Commission staff has prepared an
Environmental Assessment (EA) for the project.
The EA contains the staff's analysis of the potential environmental
impacts of the project, and concludes that licensing the project, with
appropriate environmental protective measures, would not constitute a
major federal action that would significantly affect the quality of the
human environment.
A copy of the EA is available for review at the Commission's Public
Reference Room, located at 888 First Street, NE, Washington, DC 20426,
or by calling (202) 208-1371. The EA may be viewed on the Web at http:/
/www.ferc.gov using the ``RIMS'' link, select ``Docket #'' and follow
the instructions (call 202-208-2222 for assistance).
Any comments (an original and 8 copies) should be filed within 30
days from the date of this notice and should be addressed to Magalie R.
Salas, Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First
Street, NE, Washington, DC 20426. Comments may be filed electronically
via the internet in lieu of paper [see 18 CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and
the instructions on the Commission's web site under the ``e-filing''
link. For further information, contact Allan E. Creamer at (202) 219-
0365 or allan.creamer@ferc.gov.
Magalie R. Salas,
Secretary.
