Penobscot River Restoration Trust; Notice of Availability of
Draft Environmental Assessment
August 4, 2009.
In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's regulations, 18 CFR Part
380 (Order No. 486, 52 FR 47879) the Office of Energy Projects has
reviewed an application filed on November 7, 2008, to surrender the
project licenses for the Veazie, Great Works, and Howland Hydroelectric
Projects, located on the Penobscot and Piscataquis Rivers in Penobscot
County, Maine. A draft environmental assessment (DEA) has been prepared
as part of staff's review. The DEA 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 DEA is on file with the Commission and is available
for public inspection. The DEA may also be viewed on the Commission's
Web site at http://www.ferc.gov using the ``eLibrary'' link. Enter the
docket number (P-2403, P-2312, or P-2721) excluding the last three
digits in the docket number field to access the document. For
assistance, contact FERC Online Support at FERCOnlineSupport@ferc.gov
or toll-free at 1-866-208-3372, or for TTY, (202) 502-8659.
Any comments should be filed by September 3, 2009, and should be
addressed to the Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888
First Street, NE., Room 1-A, Washington, DC 20426. Please reference the
project name and project number (P-2232) on all comments. Comments may
be filed electronically via Internet in lieu of paper. The Commission
strongly encourages electronic filings. See 18 CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii)
