"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).

Daniel McCool chronicles the surging grassroots movement to bring America's rivers back to life and ensure they remain pristine for future generations. This book confirms the surprising news that America's rivers are indeed returning to a healthier, free-flowing condition. Through passion and dedication, ordinary people are reclaiming the American landscape, forming a nation-wide "river republic" of concerned citizens from all backgrounds and sectors of society. McCool profiles the individuals he calls "instigators," who initiated the fight for these waterways and have succeeded in the near-impossible task of challenging and changing the status quo. He ties the history, culture, and fate of America to its rivers and presents their restoration as a microcosm mirroring American beliefs, livelihoods, and an increasing awareness of our shared environmental fate.
