DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Project No. 13356-000-RI]
Slatersville Hydro, LLC; Notice of Availability of Environmental
Assessment
July 27, 2010.
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 the application for exemption from licensing for the
Slatersville Hydroelectric Project, to be located on the Branch River,
in Providence County, Rhode Island, and has prepared an Environmental
Assessment (EA). In the EA, Commission staff analyze the potential
environmental effects of the project and conclude that issuing an
exemption for the project, with appropriate environmental measures,
would not constitute a major Federal action significantly affecting the
quality of the human environment.
A copy of the EA is on file with the Commission and is available
for public inspection. 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 assistance, contact FERC Online
Support at [email protected] or toll-free at 1-866-208-3676,
or for TTY, (202) 502-8659.

notice. Comments may be filed electronically via the Internet. See 18
CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the instructions on the Commission's Web
