• Description:
  "On November 7, 2008, the Penobscot River Restoration Trust (Trust) filed an application to surrender the licenses for the Veazie (FERC No. 2403), Great Works (FERC No. 2312) and Howland (FERC No. 2721) Hydroelectric Projects. The Veazie and Great Works Projects are located on the Penobscot River in Penobscot County, Maine. The Howland Project is located on the Piscataquis River in Penobscot County, Maine. The projects do not occupy any federal lands... On the basis of our independent analysis, we find that the proposed surrender of the licenses for the Veazie, Great Works and Howland Projects, as modified by staff, 20100518-3016 FERC PDF (Unofficial) 05/18/2010 5 would not constitute a major federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment. In addition, we find that none of the three action alternatives, with our recommended environmental measures, would constitute a major federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment"--Executive summary (pages 1-5).
