upstream fish passage. The licensee
does not propose any changes to the
project’s existing operating regime. In
addition, recreation improvements in
Article 412 were to be constructed in
conjunction with the full expansion of
the project; these improvements are not
applicable for the proposed amendment.
The request proposes amending Article
412 to require improvements to the
shoreline from the tailrace to River Park
for fishing and other river access
activities, construction of an
informational kiosk in River Park, and
specific improvements to Paine Street
Park. These enhancements were
requested by the Town and Village of
Green Island and the licensee included
them as part of its proposal.
l. This application has been accepted
for filing and is now ready for
environmental analysis. Based on a
review of the application and resource
agency consultation letters including
comments filed to date, Commission
staff intends to prepare a single
environmental assessment (EA).
Commission staff determined that the
issues that need to be addressed in its
EA have been adequately identified
during the pre-filing period, and no new
issues are likely to be identified through
additional scoping. The EA will
consider assessing the potential effects
of project operation on aquatic,
terrestrial, threatened and endangered
species, water quality and quantity,
recreation, and cultural and historic
resources.
