# UP Property 2, 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 CFR part 380, Commission staff reviewed UP Property 2, LLC's application to surrender the exemption of the High Falls Project No. 7987 and have prepared an Environmental Assessment (EA) for the proposed surrender. The exemptee proposes to surrender the exemption by removing the dam down to the riverbed. The project is located on the Deep River in Moore County, North Carolina.
The EA contains Commission staff's analysis of the potential environmental effects of the proposed surrender of the exemption, and concludes that the proposed surrender, would not constitute a major federal action that would significantly affect the quality of the human environment.
The final EA may be viewed on the Commission's website at *https://www.ferc.gov* using the “eLibrary” link. Enter the docket number (P-7987-016) in the docket number field to access the document.
