Walden Hydro, LLC; Notice of Waiver of Water Quality 
Certification

    On May 29, 2020, Walden Hydro, LLC (Walden Hydro) filed an 
application for a new license for the Walden Hydroelectric Project 
(project) in the above captioned docket. On April 1, 2021, Walden Hydro 
filed with the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation 
a request for water quality certification for the project under section 
401(a)(1) of the Clean Water Act.
    On April 15, 2021, staff provided the certifying authority with 
written notice pursuant to 40 CFR 121.6(b) that the applicable 
reasonable period of time for the state to act on the certification 
request was one (1) year from the date of receipt of the request, and 
that the certification requirement for the license would be waived if 
the certifying authority failed to act by April 1, 2022. Because the 
state did not act by April 1, 2022, we are notifying you pursuant to 40 
CFR 121.9(c), and section 401(a)(1) of the Clean Water Act, 33 U.S.C. 
1341(a)(1), that waiver of the certification requirement has occurred.

    Dated: April 29, 2022.

Secretary.
