DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Project No. 2710-035-ME]
PPL Maine, LLC; Notice of Availability of Environmental
Assessment
August 19, 2005.
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 47879), the Office of Energy Projects has
reviewed the application for a new license for the Orono Hydroelectric
Project, located on the Stillwater Branch of the Penobscot River, in
Penobscot County, Maine, and has prepared an Environmental Assessment
(EA). In the EA, Commission staff analyze the potential environmental
effects of relicensing the project and conclude that issuing a new
license for the project, with appropriate environmental measures, would
not constitute a major federal action that would significantly affect
the quality of the human environment.
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 FERCOnlineSupport@ferc.gov or toll-free at 1-866-208-3676,
or for TTY, (202) 502-8659.
Any comments should be filed within 30 days from the issuance date
of this notice, and should be addressed to the Secretary, Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Room 1-A,
Washington, DC 20426. Please affix ``Orono Project No. 2710'' to all
comments. Comments may be filed electronically via Internet in lieu of
paper. The Commission strongly encourages electronic filings. See 18
CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the instructions on the Commission's Web
site under the ``eFiling'' link. For further information, contact
Patrick Murphy (202) 502-8755.
