The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) staff will meet with members of the Burns Paiute Tribe to discuss the proposed Hells Canyon Hydroelectric Project. This meeting, occurring on January 28, 2020, will be a teleconference. While the public, certain agencies, and Idaho Power Company can attend the meeting, only tribal representatives and Commission staff are allowed to participate. If sensitive information regarding Native American cultural sites is shared, the public will be excused during those portions. Interested attendees should contact Michael Davis by January 25, 2020, to receive the necessary teleconference details.
Simple Explanation
The people who help with the country's energy will talk on a phone call with a special group of Native Americans about a project involving a big river dam. Some people can listen in, but only a few can talk, and if they talk about secret places, the others won't be allowed to listen to that part.
