[Project No. 10822-013]


Notice of Availability of Environmental Assessment: Town of 
Canton, Connecticut

    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 Energy Projects has reviewed an application submitted by the Town of 
Canton, Connecticut (applicant), for the reinstatement, amendment, and 
transfer of license for the Upper Collinsville Project No. 10822. The 
project is on the Farmington River near the village of Collinsville, 
Hartford County, Connecticut. The project does not occupy federal 
lands.
    An environmental assessment (EA) has been prepared as part of 
staff's review of the proposal. In the application, the applicant 
proposes to rehabilitate the project, install a Kaplan turbine with a 
total installed capacity of 1,000 kilowatts, provide upstream and 
downstream fish and eel passage, and provide additional environmental 
measures, including water quality monitoring, mussel relocation, and 
recreation. The applicant requests the Commission to reinstate the 
license with a new term of 40-50 years. The EA contains Commission 
staff's analysis of the probable environmental impacts of the proposed 
action and concludes that approval of the proposal would not constitute 
a major federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human 
environment.
    The EA is available for review and reproduction at the Commission's 
Public Reference Room, located at 888 First Street NE, Room 2A, 
Washington, DC 20426. The EA may also be viewed on the Commission's 
website at http://www.ferc.gov using the ``elibrary'' link. Enter the 
docket number (P-10822) in the docket number field to access the 
document. For assistance, contact FERC Online Support at
