Northern States Power Company has applied to relicense the Saxon Falls Hydroelectric Project, located on the Montreal River in Michigan and Wisconsin. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) staff has determined that licensing the project is unlikely to significantly affect the environment, so they plan to prepare an Environmental Assessment (EA). The EA will be shared for public review, and feedback will be considered in the final licensing decision. The Commission's Office of Public Participation is available to assist the public with inquiries and the filing process.
Simple Explanation
Northern States Power Company wants to keep using water at a place called Saxon Falls to make electricity, and the people in charge don’t think it will hurt nature too much, so they will make a report and ask people what they think before deciding.
