  • 2021-01034 — CRP NH Ayers Island, LLC; Notice of Application for Amendment of License, Soliciting Comments, Motions To Intervene, and Protests
    Type:Notice
    Citation:86 FR 5181
    Reading Time:about 4 minutes

    CRP NH Ayers Island, LLC has filed an application with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to amend its license for the Ayers Island Hydroelectric Project in New Hampshire. They want to change the way the project operates from a "modified" peaking mode to a "run-of-river" mode, which means the river's flow will be used more naturally without storing water. Additionally, they want to remove the top one-foot flashboard section from the spillway, which is usually installed in the summer. Comments, protests, and motions to intervene about this application can be submitted until February 12, 2021.

    Simple Explanation

    CRP NH Ayers Island, LLC wants to change how they use river water for their power project by letting it flow naturally instead of holding it back. People can say what they think about this until February 12, 2021, but they have to do it in a specific way that might be a little confusing.
