DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Project No. 7590-016]


City of Nashua, New Hampshire; Notice of Availability of 
Environmental Assessment

    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission or FERC) 
regulations, 18 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) part 380, Commission 
staff reviewed City of Nashua, New Hampshire's application for an 
amendment to the exemption of the Jackson Mills Hydroelectric Project 
No. 7590 and have prepared an Environmental Assessment (EA). The 
licensee proposes to replace the aging turbine/generator. The riverbed 
immediately downstream of the powerhouse will be recontoured to allow 
for the proper placement of the new turbine/generator. The project is 
located on the Nashua River in the Hillsborough County, New Hampshire. 
The project does not occupy federal lands.
    The EA contains Commission staff's analysis of the potential 
environmental effects of the proposed amendment to the exemptee, and 
concludes that the proposed amendment, 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 EA may be viewed on the Commission's website at 
http://www.ferc.gov using the ``elibrary'' link. Enter the docket 
number (P-7590) in the docket number field to access the document. For 
assistance, contact FERC Online Support at [email protected] 
or toll-free at 1-866-208-3372, or for TTY, (202) 502-8659.
