Notice of Application Tendered for
Filing With the Commission, and
Establishing Procedural Schedule and
a Deadline for Submission of Final
Amendments
PPL Holtwood, LLC; Notice of
Availability of Environmental
Assessment
January 5, 2005.
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 a new license for the
Lake Wallenpaupack Hydroelectric
Project, located on the Wallenpaupack
Creek and Lackawaxen River, in Pike
and Wayne Counties, Pennsylvania, and
has prepared an Environmental
Assessment (EA). In the EA,
Commission staff analyze the potential
environmental effects of relicensing the
project and conclude that issuing a new
license for the project, with appropriate
environmental measures, would not
constitute a major federal action that
would significantly affect 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
https://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
FERCOnlineSupportsectionferc.gov or
toll-free at 1–866–208–3676, or for TTY,
(202) 502–8659.
Any comments should be filed within
30 days from the issuance date of this
notice, and should be addressed to the
Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission, 888 First Street, NE.,

l. This application is not ready for
environmental analysis at this time.
m. The existing project consists of: (1)
The 209-foot-high, 670-foot-long
concrete thin arch dam with a crest
elevation of 7,814 feet above mean sea
level (msl); (2) the Williams Fork
reservoir with a surface area of 1,628
acres and storage of 96,822 acre-feet at
elevation 7,811 feet msl; (3) a reinforced
concrete penstock intake on the face of
the dam, with a 7-foot by 5-foot fixed
wheel penstock gate controlling flows
into a 66-inch-diameter steel penstock
running through the dam; (4) river
outlet works on the face of the dam,
leading to a 54-inch-diameter steel
embedded pipe that conveys water to
the outlet works valves; (5) a 66-footlong, 30-foot-wide, 60-foot-high
concrete powerhouse at the toe of the
dam, containing one vertical-axis
turbine/generator with a capacity of
3,150 kilowatts (kW); (6) a tailrace
excavated in the streambed rock,
carrying the combined powerhouse and
river outlet discharges; (7) a 60-foot by
40-foot switchyard; (8) and appurtenant
equipment.
The applicant requests the
Commission to first review the
application for a small hydroelectric
power project exemption from licensing,
in which the applicant would increase
the project’s generating capacity to
3,650 kW by installing a second turbine/
generator. If the project with the
proposed capacity increase does not
qualify for an exemption, the applicant
requests that this application be
considered an application for a new
license, under which the applicant
would continue to operate the existing
turbine/generator with a 3,150-kW
capacity and would not install a second
unit.
n. A copy of the application is
available for review at the Commission
in the Public Reference Room or may be
viewed on the Commission’s Web site at
https://www.ferc.gov using the
‘‘eLibrary’’ link. Enter the docket
