The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) has prepared an Environmental Assessment (EA) for the Lakeport Hydroelectric Project in New Hampshire. This assessment reviews the potential environmental impacts of re-licensing the project and concludes that, with protective measures, it should not significantly affect the environment. The public can view or print the EA through FERC's website and has 30 days to file comments electronically or by mail. The Office of Public Participation is available to assist the public with inquiries and filings related to the project.
Simple Explanation
The government checked to see if a plan to keep using a water-powered electricity project in New Hampshire would harm nature. They think it's okay if special care is taken to protect the environment. People can say what they think about this plan for the next 30 days.
