The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) has reviewed a request from the Green Island Power Authority and Albany Engineering Corporation to amend their Green Island Hydroelectric Project license. Located on the Hudson River in Albany County, New York, this project occupies federal land. FERC's analysis in the environmental assessment indicates that with certain environmental measures, the amendment will not significantly impact the environment. Interested parties can view the assessment on the FERC website and have 30 days from the notice date to submit comments online or via mail.
Simple Explanation
The government looked at a request to change how a power plant on the Hudson River works and decided it won't hurt the environment too much, as long as they follow some special rules. People who want to share their thoughts have 30 days to do so.
