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.
