Andrew Peklo III; Notice of Availability
of Environmental Assessment
In accordance with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 and
the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission’s (Commission or FERC)
regulations, 18 CFR part 380,
Commission staff reviewed Andrew
Peklo III’s (licensee) application for an
amendment of the project license for the
Pomperaug Hydroelectric Project No.
12790 and have prepared an
Environmental Assessment (EA) for the
proposed amendment. The licensee
proposes to install two 45 kilowatt (kW)
turbines (for a total generating capacity
of 90 kW) instead of the single 76 kW
turbine authorized in the project
license. The Pomperaug Project is
unconstructed and would consist of a
powerhouse located adjacent to the
existing Pomperaug Dam on the
Pomperaug River in the town of
Woodbury, Litchfield County,
Connecticut, and is not located on
Federal lands.
The final EA contains Commission
staff’s analysis of the potential
environmental effects of the proposed
two-turbine installation and supporting
activities, alternatives to the proposed
action, and concludes that the proposed
installation, with appropriate
environmental protective measures,
would not constitute a major Federal
action that would significantly affect the
quality of the human environment.
