The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) received an application from the City of Columbia, South Carolina, to amend its non-capacity license for the Columbia Hydroelectric Project. This amendment is needed to repair damage caused by heavy rain and flooding in 2015, including the replacement of headgates and generating equipment, as well as canal embankment repairs. The FERC staff has agreed to adopt Environmental Assessments prepared by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and the Federal Emergency Management Agency, which concluded that the repairs do not significantly impact the environment. For more information, the public is encouraged to contact the Commission's Office of Public Participation.
