The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) received a request from Indiana Michigan Power Company for water quality certification related to a project, according to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). This request, which was received on February 25, 2025, falls under the Clean Water Act and the Commission's regulations. Michigan EGLE has a one-year deadline, until February 25, 2026, to act on this request. If they fail to do so, the certification will be waived by default.
Simple Explanation
Indiana Michigan Power Company asked for permission to make sure the water stays clean for their project, and Michigan has until February 25, 2026, to say yes or no. If Michigan doesn't decide by then, it will be like they said yes.
