Lake Lynn Generation, LLC has applied to relicense its hydroelectric project on the Cheat River, located near Morgantown, West Virginia and Point Marion, Pennsylvania. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) plans to prepare an environmental assessment (EA) to evaluate the potential impact of this project, as it is not expected to significantly affect the environment. The EA will be open for a 45-day comment period, allowing interested parties to provide feedback. For questions or public participation help, contact FERC's Office of Public Participation.
Simple Explanation
Lake Lynn wants to keep using the river to make electricity, and they need permission to do that, so a special group will check to make sure it won't harm the environment. People can share their thoughts about it too!
