The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission has authorized Eagle Creek Sartell Hydro, LLC to continue operating the Sartell Dam Hydroelectric Project until a new license is issued or another resolution occurs under the Federal Power Act (FPA). For projects subject to section 15 of the FPA, an annual license for Project No. 8315 is effective from March 1, 2025, to February 28, 2026, and may be automatically renewed if no new license is issued by then. If the project is not under section 15, Eagle Creek is authorized to operate under the existing license until a new license is granted or another action is taken.
Simple Explanation
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission says Eagle Creek Sartell Hydro can keep running their power-making dam until they figure out a new plan. If they don’t make a new plan by next year, they can continue using their old permission to run the dam.
