Green Mountain Power Corporation (GMP) has submitted an application to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) for a subsequent license to continue operating the Glen Hydroelectric Project on the Mascoma River in Grafton County, New Hampshire. The project includes a dam, turbines, and other facilities to generate electricity. GMP plans to keep operating the project in a run-of-river mode, maintain a minimum water flow to protect aquatic life, and develop plans to monitor operations and manage historic properties. FERC is offering the public the opportunity to view the application and participate in the proceedings.
Simple Explanation
Green Mountain Power wants to keep using a river in New Hampshire to make electricity, and they're asking for permission to do this safely while caring for fish and old buildings. People can look at their plan and say what they think about it.
