The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) received a notice of intent to file a license application from the Boise-Kuna, Nampa & Meridian, Wilder, and Big Bend Irrigation Districts for a new license regarding the Lucky Peak Hydroelectric Project on the Boise River in Idaho. The notice announces the start of a pre-filing process and invites comments on the project's Pre-Application Document (PAD) and Scoping Document 1 (SD1), with a deadline for comments set for May 12, 2025. Scoping meetings, open to the public and various stakeholders, will take place on April 15 and 16, 2025, at Hyatt Place Boise/Downtown. FERC's scoping process will be part of preparing an environmental document to assess the project's impact.
Simple Explanation
FERC (a government agency) is working on a new project about using the river in Idaho for energy, and they want people to say what they think about it. People can join meetings and share their thoughts by a deadline to help make sure everything is done right and safe.
