FFP Missouri 12, LLC; 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 part 380, Office of Energy Projects staff has reviewed the application for original license for the Allegheny Lock and Dam 2 Hydroelectric Project (FERC No. 13755-002) on the Allegheny River.

The Allegheny Lock and Dam 2 Hydroelectric Project would be located at an existing lock and dam owned by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers on the Allegheny River between the boroughs of Sharpsburg and Aspinwall, Pennsylvania, in Allegheny County at river mile 6.7. The project would occupy 3.23 acres of federal land.

Staff has prepared this environmental assessment (EA) that analyzes the potential environmental effects of the project and concludes that constructing and operating the project, with appropriate environmental protection measures, would not constitute a major federal action that would significantly affect the quality of the human environment.

A copy of the EA is available for review at the Commission in the Public Reference Room or may be viewed on the Commission's Web site at 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.
