DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Project No. 2696-033-NY]
Town of Stuyvesant, New York and Albany Engineering Corporation;
Notice of Availability of Draft Environmental Assessment
In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's regulations, 18 CFR part
380 (Order No. 486, 52 FR 47897), the Office of Energy Projects has
reviewed the application for a new license for the 4,320-kilowatt (kW)
Stuyvesant Falls Hydroelectric Project located on Kinderhook Creek in
Columbia County, New York, and prepared a draft Environmental
Assessment (draft EA). In the draft EA, Commission staff analyzes the
potential environmental effects of relicensing the project and
concludes that issuing a new license for the project, with appropriate
environmental measures, would not constitute a major federal action
significantly affecting the quality of the human environment.
A copy of the draft EA is on file with the Commission and is
available for public inspection. The draft 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
