Midwest Hydro, LLC is seeking to continue operating the Janesville Hydroelectric Project by applying for a license renewal. The project, which generates 0.50 megawatts of electricity, is located on the Rock River in Wisconsin. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission staff plans to prepare an Environmental Assessment (EA) to decide if the project will be relicensed. This assessment will be reviewed by interested parties and public input is encouraged. The Commission's Office of Public Participation (OPP) is available to assist the public with inquiries related to this process.
Simple Explanation
Midwest Hydro wants to keep using a big water wheel to make electricity on a river in Wisconsin, and some people will check if that's a good idea by looking at the possible effects, asking other people what they think, and helping them understand what's happening.
