Walden Hydro, LLC; Notice of Intent To
Prepare an Environmental Assessment
On May 29, 2020, Enel Green Power
North America, Inc.1 filed an
application on behalf of Walden Hydro,
LLC (Walden Hydro), for a new license
for the 2.1-megawatt Walden
Hydroelectric Project (Walden Project)
(FERC No. 4428). The Walden Project is
located on the Wallkill River in Orange
County in the Village of Walden, New
York. The Project is located
approximately 28.5 river miles upstream
of the mouth of the Wallkill River. The
project does not occupy federal land.
In accordance with the Commission’s
regulations, on February 10, 2021,
Commission staff issued a notice that
the project was ready for environmental
analysis (REA notice). Based on the
information in the record, including
comments filed on the REA notice, staff
does not anticipate that licensing the
project would constitute a major federal
action significantly affecting the quality
of the human environment. Therefore,
staff intends to prepare an
Environmental Assessment (EA) on the
application to license the Walden
Project.
The EA will be issued and circulated
for review by all interested parties. All
comments filed on the EA will be
analyzed by staff and considered in the
Commission’s final licensing decision.
1 In a February 3, 2021 filing, the Commission
was notified that Enel Green Power North America,
Inc. transferred all its ownership interests for
Walden Hydro, LLC to Hydroland, Inc.
