"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).

2008年11月7日，佩诺布斯科特河修复信托基金（Penobscot River Restoration Trust）提交申请，请求注销维齐（Veazie，FERC编号2403）、大沃特克斯（Great Works，FERC编号2312）以及豪兰（Howland，FERC编号2721）三个水电项目的运营许可。维齐与大沃特克斯水电项目坐落于缅因州佩诺布斯科特县境内的佩诺布斯科特河上；豪兰水电项目则位于该县境内的皮斯卡塔夸西河（Piscataquis River）上。上述项目未占用任何联邦土地……经独立分析，我方认定：经工作人员修订后的拟注销维齐、大沃特克斯及豪兰水电项目运营许可的申请，对应2010年5月18日发布的FERC非正式PDF文件20100518-3016（第5页），不会构成对人类环境质量造成显著影响的联邦重大行动。此外，我方认定：在采用我方建议的环保措施的前提下，三项备选行动方案均不会构成对人类环境质量造成显著影响的联邦重大行动。——本内容节选自执行摘要（第1-5页）。
