August 31, 2010.
In accordance with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as
amended, and the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission’s regulations,
18 CFR part 380 (Order No. 486, 52 FR
47879), the Commission has reviewed
an application filed by the Northern
California Power Agency (licensee) on
May 26, 2010, and supplemented on
July 11 and August 9, 2010, requesting
Commission approval to temporarily
amend the license for the Upper Utica
Project, FERC No. 11563. The licensee
seeks Commission approval to partially
draw down Lake Alpine and deviate
from the minimum reservoir surface
elevation and minimum water volume
requirements of the project license in
order to facilitate repairs to the lowlevel outlet works. The Environmental
Assessment (EA) analyzes the
environmental impacts of the proposed
activities and concludes that approval of
the application, with appropriate
environmental measures, would not
constitute a major federal action
significantly affecting the quality of the
human environment. The project is
located on Silver Creek and the North
Fork Stanislaus River, in Tuolumne and
Alpine Counties, California.
The EA was written by staff in the
Office of Energy Projects, Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission. A copy
of the EA is attached to a Commission
order titled ‘‘Order Approving
Temporary License Amendment,’’
issued August 31, 2010, and 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

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 prepared
an environmental assessment (EA) for
an application filed by Greenwood
County, South Carolina (licensee) on
January 26, 2010, requesting
Commission approval to amend article
407 of its project license for the
Buzzards Roost Hydroelectric Project
(FERC No. 1267). The licensee requests
permission to revise the schedule for
management of lake levels (rule curve)
to maintain the lake at the summer level
until November 1 in order to facilitate
late-season recreation. The licensee also
proposes to maintain the lake at its
annual low from January 15 until
February 1 of each year in order to
provide a period for adjacent
landowners to work on permitted
encroachments. The licensee states that
it would vary from article 407 to
perform necessary maintenances, safely
manage flood flows, during operating
emergencies, and to meet minimum
flow requirements under article 408.
The project is located on the Saluda
River in Greenwood, Laurens, and
Newberry Counties, South Carolina. The
project does not occupy any federal
lands.
The EA evaluates the environmental
impacts that would result from
approving the licensee’s proposal to
amend article 407 of the project license.
The EA 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 EA is attached to a
Commission Order titled ‘‘Order
Amending License,’’ issued August 31,
2010, and is on file with the
Commission and is available for public
inspection. The EA may also be viewed

Green Island Power Authority; Notice
of Availability of Draft Environmental
Assessment
August 31, 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 47897), the
Office of Energy Projects has reviewed
the application for a new license for the
6.0-megawatt Green Island
Hydroelectric Project, located on the
Hudson River, in Albany County, New
York, and has prepared a Draft
Environmental Assessment (DEA). In
the DEA, Commission staff analyzes 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 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
