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 York Haven 
Power Company, LLC's (licensee) application for a non-capacity 
amendment of the license for the York Haven Hydroelectric Project No. 
1888 and have prepared an Environmental Assessment (EA). The licensee 
proposes to amend its project license to reflect a change in the design 
of the nature-like fishway required by Article 401 of the project 
license, Pennsylvania

[[Page 24465]]

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 nature-like 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.
