The Beaver Falls Municipal Authority submitted an application on August 1, 2022, to relicense the 5-megawatt Townsend Water Power Project located on the Beaver River, Pennsylvania. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission plans to prepare an Environmental Assessment (EA) for this project since it likely does not have significant environmental effects. Public comments will be considered for the final licensing decision. For assistance, individuals can reach out to the Office of Public Participation.
Simple Explanation
The people at Beaver Falls want to keep using a special water project to make electricity from a river. Some other people need to check if using the river like this is okay and safe for nature, and they want to know what everyone thinks before they make a final choice.
