[Project No. 11834-057]
FPL Energy Maine Hydro, LLC; Notice of Availability of
Environmental Assessment
In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969,
as amended, and Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission or
FERC) regulations, 18 CFR part 380 (Order No. 486, 52 FR 47879), the
Commission has reviewed a request to replace the spillway at the Upper
Dam development, which is part of the Upper and Middle Dam Storage
Project (FERC No. 11834). The purpose of the action is to satisfy the
Commission's Division of Dam Safety and Inspections required
remediation under 18 CFR Part 12. The licensee seeks Commission
approval to conduct the spillway replacement. This environmental
assessment (EA) analyzes the environmental impacts of the proposed
spillway repairs and concludes that approval of the request, with
appropriate environmental measures, would not constitute a major
federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human
environment. The project is located on the outlet from
Mooselookmeguntic Lake in Oxford and Franklin Counties, Maine.
The EA was written by staff in the Commission's Office of Energy
Projects. A copy of the EA is on file with the Commission and is
available for public inspection. The EA may also be viewed on the
Commission's Web site at http://www.ferc.gov using the ``eLibrary''
link. Enter the docket number excluding the last three digits in the
docket number field to access the document. For assistance, contact
FERC Online Support at [email protected] or toll-free at 1-

Dated: February 15, 2012.

Secretary.
