Jarvis) Hydroelectric Project (Jarvis Project). The Jarvis Project is located on West Canada Creek, near the Hamlet of Hinckley in the counties of Oneida and Herkimer, New York. On June 27, 2022, the Commission issued a notice indicating that staff intended to prepare a multi-project Environmental Assessment (EA) for both the Jarvis Project and Erie Boulevard Hydropower, L.P.’s West Canada Creek Hydroelectric Project, because the projects are located adjacent to each other. However, the Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2023 now requires that an EA ‘‘shall not exceed 75 pages, not including any citations or appendices’’ (Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2023, Pub. L. 118–5, 107, 137 Stat 42 (2023)). A multi-project EA would have exceeded the page limit established in the Act, so staff has prepared a standalone draft Environmental Assessment (EA) for the Jarvis Project.
