The project is located on the Wallkill River and involves existing structures but does not occupy federal land. Public comments and recommendations on the application are invited within 60 days of the notice date, with replies due within 105 days. FERC will conduct an environmental analysis following updated regulations, and the project is proposed to continue in a run-of-river mode without operational changes.
