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

be located on the Westfield River, in the
Town of Russell, Hampden County,
Massachusetts, and has prepared an
Environmental Assessment (EA). In the
EA, Commission staff analyze the
potential environmental impacts of the
project and conclude that exempting the

Sfmt 4703
In accordance with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as
amended, and the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission’s (Commission)
regulations (18 CFR part 380),
Commission staff have reviewed the
application, filed November 16, 2005,
by the project licensee, Northeast
Generation Company, for a temporary
amendment of license for the Northfield
Mountain Pumped Storage Project. The
request is for a deviation from required
project operating limits to allow
additional operating flexibility this
winter. The project is located on the east
side of the Connecticut River, in the
towns of Northfield and Erving, in
Franklin County, Massachusetts.
The proposal would modify the upper
reservoir’s water surface elevation limits
from 938 and 1000.5 feet mean sea level
(msl), to 920 and 1004.5 feet msl,
respectively, and allow a maximum
daily generation of 10,465 megawatt
hours (MWh) under certain ISO–NE
emergency operating conditions from
December 1, 2005, through March 31,
2006. At all other times, the upper
reservoir would be operated within
existing limits, and generation would be
within the existing maximum limit of
8,475 MWh. The project uses the
reservoir at the Turners Falls Project
(FERC No. 1889) on the Connecticut
River as its lower reservoir, and
proposes no changes in its operating
elevations.
In the environmental assessment (EA),
Commission staff has analyzed the
probable environmental effects of the
proposed amendment and has
concluded that approval, with the
addition of staff-recommended
measures, would not constitute a major
Federal action significantly affecting the
quality of the human environment.
A copy of the EA is attached to the
Commission order titled ‘‘Order
Granting Temporary Amendment of
License,’’ issued November 30, 2005,
and is available at the Commission’s
Public Reference Room. A copy of the
EA may also be viewed on the
Commission’s Web site at https://
www.ferc.gov using the ‘‘elibrary’’ link.
