    Eagle Creek Reusens Hydro, LLC has filed an application for a new major license for the Reusens Hydroelectric Project located on the James River in Virginia. The project consists of a 24-foot-high concrete dam, two powerhouses with a total capacity of 12.5 megawatts, and other facilities, operating in a peaking mode with an annual generation of 22,504 megawatt-hours. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) is initiating a scoping process under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) to prepare an environmental assessment or environmental impact statement on the project's effects. FERC is seeking public input on the issues and alternatives to be addressed and encourages electronic filing of comments.

They’re asking people what they think about this plan, but some parts are a bit confusing, like where to send letters and what words mean.
