EONY Generation Limited has submitted an application for a new major license for the Philadelphia Hydroelectric Project, located on the Indian River in New York. The project includes a reservoir, dams, and a powerhouse with a turbine that generates electricity. As part of the licensing process, EONY proposes to continue its run-of-river operations and improve facilities, including adding a minimum flow for aquatic habitat and making a fishing platform accessible. Interested parties are encouraged to submit additional study requests by March 29, 2021, and follow the procedural schedule for the license application review.
Simple Explanation
EONY is asking for permission to keep using a special water-powered machine in a river in New York to make electricity. They plan to make some improvements like helping fish live better and making it easier to fish there, and they are asking for ideas from people on how to study these changes by the end of March.
