[Project No. 2512-075; Project No. 14439-001]
Hawks Nest Hydro, LLC; Notice of Availability of Draft
Environmental Assessment
In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission)
regulations, 18 CFR part 380, the Office of Energy Projects has
reviewed the applications for new licenses for the Hawks Nest
Hydroelectric Project (FERC Project No. 2512-075) and the Glen Ferris
Hydroelectric Project (FERC Project No. 14439-001) located in Fayette
County, West Virginia, and has prepared a Draft Environmental
Assessment (Draft EA) for the projects.
The Draft EA contains the staff's analysis of the potential
environmental effects of the projects and concludes that relicensing
the projects, with appropriate environmental protective measures, would
not constitute a major federal action that would significantly affect
the quality of the human environment.
A copy of the Draft EA is available for review at the Commission in
the Public Reference Room or may be viewed on the Commission's Web site
at http://www.ferc.gov using the ``eLibrary'' link. Enter the docket
