The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) has announced a notice for public inspection of a new major license application filed by Lyonsdale Associates, LLC for the Lyonsdale Hydroelectric Project on the Moose River in New York. The project aims to generate electricity using water from the river and includes proposals for recreation facilities, minimum water flow maintenance, and environmental management plans. The public is encouraged to submit scoping comments electronically by February 16, 2025. FERC will either prepare an environmental assessment or impact statement to evaluate the project's potential environmental effects.
Simple Explanation
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission is asking people to share their thoughts about a new plan to make electricity using water from a river in New York. This plan, called the Lyonsdale Hydroelectric Project, could help supply power, and they're looking for ideas on how best to do it without hurting the environment.
