Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission
[Project No. 7630–005]
Town of South Hill; 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 the Town of
South Hill, Virginia’s application for
surrender of exemption from licensing
for the Whittles Mill Dam Project No.
7630 and have prepared an
Environmental Assessment (EA) for the
proposed surrender. The Town of South
Hill proposes to keep the dam,
powerhouse, and associated facilities
intact to serve as a historic landmark
and remove other electrical and
mechanical components. The
impoundment would be maintained at
the level of the dam, and the Town of
South Hill would retain ownership and
management responsibilities associated
with the property. The project is located
on the Meherrin River in the Town of
South Hill in Mecklenburg County,
Virginia. The project does not occupy
federal lands.
The EA contains Commission staff’s
analysis of the potential environmental
effects of surrendering the exemption,
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.

will serve to notify federal and state
agencies of the timing for the
completion of all necessary reviews, and
the subsequent need to complete all
federal authorizations within 90 days of
the date of issuance of the Commission
staff’s FEIS or EA.

will be placed on the Commission’s
environmental mailing list, and will
receive notification when the
environmental documents (EA or EIS)
are issued for this project and will be
notified of meetings associated with the

Any person, which includes
individuals, organizations, businesses,
municipalities, and other entities,6 has
the option to file a motion to intervene
in this proceeding. Only intervenors

challenge the Commission’s orders in
the U.S. Circuit Courts of Appeal.
To intervene, you must submit a
motion to intervene to the Commission
in accordance with Rule 214 of the
Commission’s Rules of Practice and
Procedure 7 and the regulations under
the NGA 8 by the intervention deadline
for the project, which is July 16, 2024.

Persons who comment on the environmental review of this project
will be placed on the Commission's environmental mailing list, and will
receive notification when the environmental documents (EA or EIS) are
issued for this project and will be notified of meetings associated
with the Commission's environmental review process.
The Commission considers all comments received about the project in
determining the appropriate action to be taken. However, the filing of
a comment alone will not serve to make the filer a party to the
proceeding. To become a party, you must intervene in the proceeding.
For instructions on how to intervene, see below.
Interventions
Any person, which includes individuals, organizations, businesses,
municipalities, and other entities,\6\ has the option to file a motion
to intervene in this proceeding. Only intervenors have the right to
request rehearing of Commission orders issued in this proceeding and to
subsequently challenge the Commission's orders in the U.S. Circuit
Courts of Appeal.

Practice and Procedure \7\ and the regulations under the NGA \8\ by the
intervention deadline for the project, which is July 16, 2024. As
described further in Rule 214, your motion to intervene must state, to
the extent known, your position regarding the proceeding, as well as
your interest in the proceeding. For an individual, this could include
your status as a landowner, ratepayer, resident of an impacted
community, or recreationist. You do not need to have property directly
impacted by the project in order to intervene. For more information

email with a link to the document.
All timely, unopposed \9\ motions to intervene are automatically
granted by operation of Rule 214(c)(1).\10\ Motions to intervene that
are filed after the intervention deadline are untimely, and may be
denied. Any late-filed motion to intervene must show good cause for
being late and must explain why the time limitation should be waived
and provide justification by reference to factors set forth in Rule
214(d) of the Commission's Rules and Regulations.\11\ A person
obtaining party status will be placed on the service list maintained by
the Secretary of the Commission and will receive copies (paper or
electronic) of all documents filed by the applicant and by all other
parties.
