Plan to begin the drawdown of the
reservoir on October 1, 2020 with the
reservoir level of 488 ft expected to be
reached by April 2021. The proposed
low-level outlet works would be located
in proximity to the existing outlet at the
base of Anderson Dam with
construction proposed to start in early
2021 and completed in late 2023. The
exemptee also proposes, as mitigation
measures, the following actions,
including some downstream of the
Anderson Dam project: Reservoir rim
monitoring and channel stabilization;
reconstruct the downstream Coyote
Percolation Dam to withstand higher
flows from the proposed low-level
outlet; extend the Cross Valley Pipeline
and add chillers to supplement water to
Coyote Creek to support groundwater
recharge and fisheries; relocate and
rescue steelhead; and build flood walls,
and elevate or acquire property that
have the potential to be affected by
flows from the operation of the
proposed low-level outlet.

Notice of Availability of Environmental
Assessment
In accordance with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 and
the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission’s (Commission)
regulations, 18 CFR part 380, the Office
of Energy Projects has reviewed the
application for license for the Bear
Swamp Project, located on the Deerfield
River, in Berkshire and Franklin
Counties, Massachusetts, and has
prepared a Final Environmental
Assessment (FEA) for the project.
The FEA contains staff’s analysis of
the potential environmental impacts of
the project and concludes that licensing
the project, with appropriate
environmental protective measures,
would not constitute a major federal
action that would significantly affect the
quality of the human environment.
The Commission provides all
interested persons with an opportunity
to view and/or print the FEA via the
internet through the Commission’s
Home Page (https://www.ferc.gov) using
the ‘‘eLibrary’’ link. Enter the docket
number, excluding the last three digits
in the docket number field, to access the
document. At this time, the Commission
has suspended access to the
Commission’s Public Reference Room,
due to the proclamation declaring a
National Emergency concerning the
Novel Coronavirus Disease (COVID–19),
issued by the President on March 13,
