    The Lake Upchurch Dam Preservation Association has filed an application to surrender its exemption for the Raeford Hydroelectric Project, located on Rockfish Creek in North Carolina. The project has not been operational since 2016 due to storm damage. They plan to remove electrical connections and the substation to prevent future power generation but will not make significant changes to the dam or structures. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) will prepare an environmental assessment (EA) for this proposal, with completion expected by July 31, 2025, followed by a 30-day period for public comments.

    The people in charge of a small dam in North Carolina want to stop making electricity there because a storm broke it years ago, and they don't plan to fix it. They will check how this decision affects the environment and let people share their thoughts about it next summer.
