Prepare an Environmental Assessment
lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1
In accordance with the Commission’s
regulations, on August 23, 2022,
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 relicense the 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.
The application will be processed
according to the following schedule.
Revisions to the schedule may be made
as appropriate.
On August 27, 2021, Watson
Associates filed a relicense application
for the 265-kilowatt Watson Dam
Hydroelectric Project No. 6240 (project).
The project is located on the Cocheco
River in Strafford County, New
Hampshire. The project does not occupy
federal land.
