The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) has reviewed the application for a new license for the Chittenden Falls Hydroelectric Project in New York and prepared an Environmental Assessment (EA). The analysis concluded that, with appropriate environmental protections, the project will not significantly impact the environment. FERC is seeking public comments on the EA within 45 days of this notice, with a preference for electronic submissions via their eFiling system. People can view the EA online and register for updates on this project through FERC's website.
Simple Explanation
The people in charge are checking if a new water-powered project in New York is safe for nature, and they want everyone to say what they think about it. They think it will be okay if they use special rules to protect nature, and you can tell them your thoughts by sending a note on the computer.
