Notice of Availability of Environmental
Assessment

June 7, 2006.
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 May 12, 2006, 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 summer. 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
June 3, 2006, through September 30,
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 June 7, 2006, and is
available at the Commission’s Public
Reference Room. A copy of the EA may
also be viewed on the Commission’s
