Title: Relicensing the Gulf Island-Deer Rips Hydroelectric Project and licensing the Marcal Hydroelectric Project in the lower Androscoggin River Basin. b. Final Environmental Impact Statement c. Lead Agency: Federal Energy Regulatory Commission d. Abstract: Central Maine Power Company (Central Maine) filed an application with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission) for new license (re1icense) for the existing 31.12 megawatt (MW) Gulf Island-Deer Rips Project located on the lower Androscoggin River, in Auburn and Lewiston, Maine. Consolidated Hydro Maine, Inc. (Consolidated Hydro) filed an application for original license for the existing 1.31 MW Marcal Project located on the Little Androscoggin River, a tributary of the Androscoggin River, in Mechanic Falls, Maine. Central Maine's application contains a proposal for increased generating capacity. Generating capacity for the two projects, as proposed, would total about 36.73 MW, an increase of 4.30 MW over existing capacity. The primary environmental resource issues are potential impacts to and effects on (1) geology and soils; (2) water quality and quantity; (3) fisheries resources; (4) vegetation and wildlife resources; (5) recreational resources; (6) aesthetic resources; (7) cultural resources; (8) air quality; and (9) cumulative interactions with other projects. The staff's recommendation is to re1icense Central Maine's project and license Consolidated Hydro's project as proposed with additional resource enhancement and mitigation measures. e.

Transmittal: This final environmental impact statement prepared by the Commission's staff in connection with relicense and license applications filed by Central Maine for the existing Gulf Island-Deer Rips Project (FERC No. 2283) and Consolidated Hydro for the existing unlicensed Marcal Project (FERC No. 11482) is being made available to the public on or about July 19, 1996, as required by the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969 and the Commission's regulations implementing NEPA (18 CFR Part 380). iii 19961003-0361 FERC PDF (Unofficia1) 07/31/1996 FOREWORD The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission), pursuant to the Federal Power Act (FPA)I and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Organization Act?-is authorized to issue licenses for up to 50 years for the construction and operation of non- federal hydroelectric developments subject to its jurisdiction, on the necessary conditions: mhat the project adopted ... shall be such as in the judgement of the Commission will be best adapted to a comprehensive plan for improving or developing a waterway or waterways for the use or benefit of interstate or foreign commerce, for the improvement and utilization of water power development, for the adequate protection, mitigation, and enhancement of fish and wildlife (including related spawning grounds and habitat), and for other beneficial public uses, including irrigation, flood control, water supply, and recreational and other purposes referred to in Section 4(e) .... 3 The Commission may require such other conditions not inconsistent with the FPA as may be found necessary to provide for the various public interests to be served by the project. 4 Compliance with such conditions during the licensing period is required. Section 385.206 (1987) of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure allows any person objecting to a licensee's compliance or noncompliance, with such conditions, to file a complaint noting the basis for such objection for the Commission's consideration. 5 16 U.s.c. f§79l(a)-82S(r), as amended by the Electric Consumers Protection Act of 1986, Public Law 99· 495 (1986) and the Energy Policy Act of 1992, Public Law 102-486 (1992). z Public Law 95·91, 91 Slat. 556 (1977). 16 U.S.C.
