Wetlands Involvement; New England
Clean Power Link Project
Department of Energy.
Notice of intent.

AGENCY:
ACTION:

The Department of Energy
(DOE) announces its intent to prepare
an environmental impact statement
(EIS) to assess the potential
environmental impacts from its
proposed federal action of granting a
Presidential permit to Champlain VT,
LLC, doing business as TDI-New
England (TDI–NE; the Applicant), to
construct, operate, maintain, and
connect a new electric transmission line
across the U.S.-Canada border in
northern Vermont. The New England
Clean Power Link Environmental Impact
Statement (DOE/EIS–0503) will address
potential environmental impacts from
the proposed action and reasonable
alternatives.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
(USACE)—New England District, the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA)—Region 1 (New England), and
the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) are
cooperating agencies in the preparation
of the EIS. The purpose of this Notice
of Intent (NOI) is to inform the public
about the proposed action, announce
public scoping meetings, and solicit
public comments regarding the scope of
the EIS. Because the proposed project
would involve actions in floodplains
and wetlands, in accordance with DOE
regulations, the EIS will include a
floodplain and wetland assessment.
DATES: The public scoping period starts
with the publication of this Notice in
the Federal Register and will continue
until October 10, 2014. Written and oral
comments will be given equal weight,
and DOE will consider all comments
submitted or postmarked by October 10,
2014 in defining the scope of this EIS.
Comments submitted or postmarked
after that date will be considered to the
extent practicable.
Two public scoping meetings will be
held as follows:
1. Burlington, VT: Sheraton Burlington
Hotel and Conference Center, 870
Williston Road, Burlington, VT 05403,
