This application has been accepted for filing and is now ready for environmental analysis. The Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) issued a final rule on July 15, 2020, revising the regulations under 40 CFR parts 1500–1518 that federal agencies use to implement NEPA (see Update to the Regulations Implementing the Procedural Provisions of the National Environmental Policy Act, 85 FR 43,304). The Final Rule became effective on and applies to any NEPA process begun after September 14, 2020. An agency may also apply the regulations to ongoing activities and environmental documents begun before September 14, 2020, which includes the proposed Bolton Falls Project relicensing. Commission staff intends to conduct its NEPA review in accordance with CEQ’s new regulations. VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:32 Dec 04, 2020 Jkt 253001 l. The Bolton Falls Project consists of the following constructed facilities: (1) A 92-foot-high, 275-foot-wide timber crib dam with a 5-foot-high rubber dam atop the timber crib construction with a maximum crest elevation of 397 feet and a 196-foot-long reinforced concrete spillway cap at a crest elevation of 392 feet; (2) a 59-acre impoundment with a total storage capacity of 300 acre-feet at a normal operating elevation of 397 feet; (3) a forebay with two concrete intakes, each with a 3-inch-spaced trashrack; (4) two 10-foot diameter, 120-foot-long steel penstocks; (5) a 73-foot-long, 57-footwide powerhouse containing two horizontal, 3,750-kilowatt Kaplan turbines with a total installed capacity of 7,500 kilowatts; (6) a 36-inch diameter steel bypass pipe with an invert elevation of 383 feet that discharges near the left side of the spillway base; (7) an approximately 130foot long, 5-kilovolt underground transmission line connecting to an adjacent switchyard; (8) a 600-foot-long, 34.5-kilovolt overhead transmission line connecting to a second switchyard; and (9) appurtenant facilities. GMP also maintains day-use recreation facilities at the project, including a picnic area, trails, fishing access, and a canoe launch and portage trail. GMP proposes to operate in automated run-of-river mode as it does under its current practice but instead of providing a 300-cubic feet per second (cfs) minimum flow into the Winooski River through the powerhouse (when generating) or via spill over the dam (when not generating) as it does now, GMP proposes to provide a seasonal aesthetic spill flow of 75 cfs or inflow, whichever is less, into the bypassed reach via spillage over the dam during daylight hours from April 1 through December 15. At all other times, bypassed reach flows would be reduced to leakage except when inflow drops below the minimum hydraulic capacity (i.e., 365 cfs) or when inflow exceeds the maximum hydraulic capacity (2,400 cfs) of the generating units in which case additional flows would be released to the bypassed reach via spill over the dam. Under normal flow conditions when aesthetic spillage is required, GMP proposes to maintain the impoundment at an elevation of 397.25 feet. When aesthetic spillage over the dam is not required, GMP proposes to maintain the reservoir at an elevation of 397 feet as it does now. GMP also proposes to: (1) Relocate recreation parking area out of the floodplain; (2) implement measures to protect creeping lovegrass at the day-use area; (3) add two picnic tables and an information PO 00000 Frm 00028 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 kiosk to the day-use area; and (4) improve the portage landing, trail, and signage. m.

    The Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) issued a final rule on 
July 15, 2020, revising the regulations under 40 CFR parts 1500-1518 
that federal agencies use to implement NEPA (see Update to the 
Regulations Implementing the Procedural Provisions of the National 
Environmental Policy Act, 85 FR 43,304). The Final Rule became 
effective on and applies to any NEPA process begun after September 14, 
2020. An agency may also apply the regulations to ongoing activities 
and environmental documents begun before September 14, 2020, which 
includes the proposed Bolton Falls Project relicensing. Commission 
staff intends to conduct its NEPA review in accordance with CEQ's new 
regulations.

facilities: (1) A 92-foot-high, 275-foot-wide timber crib dam with a 5-
foot-high rubber dam atop the timber crib construction with a maximum 
crest elevation of 397 feet and a 196-foot-long reinforced concrete 
spillway cap at a crest elevation of 392 feet; (2) a 59-acre 
impoundment with a total storage capacity of 300 acre-feet at a normal 
operating elevation of 397 feet; (3) a forebay with two concrete 
intakes, each with a 3-inch-spaced trashrack; (4) two 10-foot diameter, 
120-foot-long steel penstocks; (5) a 73-foot-long, 57-foot-wide 
powerhouse containing two horizontal, 3,750-kilowatt Kaplan turbines 
with a total installed capacity of 7,500 kilowatts; (6) a 36-inch 
diameter steel bypass pipe with an invert elevation of 383 feet that 
discharges near the left side of the spillway base; (7) an 
approximately 130-foot long, 5-kilovolt underground transmission line 
connecting to an adjacent switchyard; (8) a 600-foot-long, 34.5-

and (9) appurtenant facilities. GMP also maintains day-use recreation 
facilities at the project, including a picnic area, trails, fishing 
access, and a canoe launch and portage trail.
    GMP proposes to operate in automated run-of-river mode as it does 
under its current practice but instead of providing a 300-cubic feet 
per second (cfs) minimum flow into the Winooski River through the 
powerhouse (when generating) or via spill over the dam (when not 
generating) as it does now, GMP proposes to provide a seasonal 
aesthetic spill flow of 75 cfs or inflow, whichever is less, into the 
bypassed reach via spillage over the dam during daylight hours from 
April 1 through December 15. At all other times, bypassed reach flows 
would be reduced to leakage except when inflow drops below the minimum 
hydraulic capacity (i.e., 365 cfs) or when inflow exceeds the maximum 
hydraulic capacity (2,400 cfs) of the generating units in which case 
additional flows would be released to the bypassed reach via spill over 
the dam. Under normal flow conditions when aesthetic spillage is 
required, GMP proposes to maintain the impoundment at an elevation of 
397.25 feet. When aesthetic spillage over the dam is not required, GMP 
proposes to maintain the reservoir at an elevation of 397 feet as it 
does now. GMP also proposes to: (1) Relocate recreation parking area 
out of the floodplain; (2) implement measures to protect creeping 
lovegrass at the day-use area; (3) add two picnic tables and an 
information kiosk to the day-use area; and (4) improve the portage 
landing, trail, and signage.
