DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Project No. 2666-007, Maine]


Bangor Hydroelectric Company; Notice of Availability of Draft 
Environmental Assessment

October 28, 1998.
    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission) 
regulations, 18 CFR Part 380 (Order No. 486, 52 FR 47897), the Office 
of Hydropower Licensing reviewed the application for a new license for 
the Medway Hydroelectric Project, and prepared a Draft Environmental 
Assessment (DEA) for the project. The Medway Project is located on the 
West Branch Penobscot River in the town of Medway, Penobscot County, 
Maine. The DEA contains the staff's analysis of potential environmental 
impacts of the project and concludes that licensing the project, with 
appropriate environmental protective measures, would not constitute a 
major federal action that would significantly affect the quality of the 
human environment.
    The DEA is available in the Public Reference Room, Room 2A, of the 
Commission's offices at 888 First Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20426.
    Comments should be filed within 45 days from the date of this 
notice and should be addressed to David P. Boergers, Secretary, Federal 
Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 
20426. For further information, contact David Turner, Environmental 
Coordinator, at (202) 219-2844.
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
