lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1
Department of Environmental
Protection’s Water Quality Certificate,
and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s
fishway prescription. The proposed
design change would result in the
construction of an inland nature-like
fishway rather than the in-river fishway
currently required by the license. The
York Haven project is located in York,
Dauphin, and Lancaster counties in
south central Pennsylvania. The project
is not located on federal lands.
The EA contains Commission staff’s
analysis of the potential environmental
effects of the proposed change in naturelike fishway design, alternatives to the
proposed action, and concludes that the
proposed amendment, with appropriate
environmental protective measures,
would not constitute a major federal
action that would significantly affect the
quality of the human environment.
The EA may be viewed on the
Commission’s website at https://
www.ferc.gov using the ‘‘elibrary’’ link.
