delivering water to the project facilities
from three sources: The Uintah River,
Big Springs Creek, and Pole Creek. The
existing project facilities include: (1)
The 8-foot-wide, 4-foot-deep, 1,100-footlong earthen Big Springs canal that
conveys flow from Big Springs Creek;
(2) a stop-log diversion structure on the
Big Springs canal that conveys flow to
a 916-foot-long, 28-inch diameter, steel
pipeline that connects to the point of
diversion on the Uintah River; (3) an 80foot-long, 4-foot-wide, 3-foot-high
overflow-type concrete diversion
structure with a 10-foot-high, 6.5-footwide steel slide gate on the Uintah
River; (4) a concrete structure with
manual slide gates for dewatering the
main supply canal and returning water
to the Uintah River immediately
downstream of the Uintah diversion; (5)
an emergency slide gate about midway
along the main supply canal; (6) a 16foot-wide, 8-foot-deep, 25,614-foot-long,
clay-lined main supply canal which
conveys water from Big Springs Creek
and the Uintah River; (7) a stop-log
diversion structure with non-functional
control gates which diverts water from
Pole Creek; (8) a 6-foot-wide, 4-footdeep, 6,200-foot-long Pole Creek canal
that collects water from the Pole Creek
diversion; (9) an 86-inch-wide, 80-inchlong, 43-inch-high transition bay and a
140-foot-long, 14-inch diameter steel
penstock collects water from the Pole
Creek supply canal; (10) a 23-foot by 13foot concrete forebay structure
containing trashracks with 2.5-inch
spacing, a headgate that is located at the
termination of the main supply canal
and the Pole Creek penstock, and an
overflow channel; (11) a single 5,238foot-long, 36-inch diameter
polyurethane and steel penstock which
delivers water to a concrete powerhouse
with two Pelton turbines driving two
600-kilowatt generators; (12) a 600-footlong tailrace; (13) a 4.75-mile-long, 24.9kilovolt single wood pole distribution

Environmental Policy Act. The EA will
consider both site-specific and
cumulative environmental impacts and
reasonable alternatives to the proposed
action.
Commission staff does not propose to
conduct any on-site scoping meetings at
this time. Instead, we are soliciting
comments, recommendations, and
information, on the Scoping Document
(SD) issued on February 11, 2019.
Copies of the SD outlining the subject
areas to be addressed in the EA were

KEI (Maine) Power Management (III)
LLC; Notice of Authorization for
Continued Project Operation
On January 30, 2017, KEI (Maine)
Power Management (III) LLC, licensee
for the Barker’s Mill Hydroelectric
Project, filed an Application for a New
License pursuant to the Federal Power
Act (FPA) and the Commission’s
regulations thereunder. The Barker’s
Mill Hydroelectric Project is located on
the Little Androscoggin River, in the
City of Auburn, Androscoggin County,
Maine.
The license for Project No. 2808 was
issued for a period ending January 31,
2019. Section 15(a)(1) of the FPA, 16
U.S.C. 808(a)(1), requires the
Commission, at the expiration of a
license term, to issue from year-to-year
an annual license to the then licensee
under the terms and conditions of the
prior license until a new license is
issued, or the project is otherwise
disposed of as provided in section 15 or
any other applicable section of the FPA.
If the project’s prior license waived the
applicability of section 15 of the FPA,
then, based on section 9(b) of the
Administrative Procedure Act, 5 U.S.C.
558(c), and as set forth at 18 CFR
16.21(a), if the licensee of such project
has filed an application for a subsequent
license, the licensee may continue to
operate the project in accordance with
the terms and conditions of the license
after the minor or minor part license
expires, until the Commission acts on
its application. If the licensee of such a
project has not filed an application for
a subsequent license, then it may be
required, pursuant to 18 CFR 16.21(b),
to continue project operations until the
Commission issues someone else a
license for the project or otherwise
orders disposition of the project.
If the project is subject to section 15
of the FPA, notice is hereby given that
an annual license for Project No. 2808
is issued to the licensee for a period
effective February 1, 2019 through
January 31, 2020, or until the issuance
of a new license for the project or other
disposition under the FPA, whichever
comes first. If issuance of a new license
