Midwest Hydro, LLC submitted an application to renew their license for operating the 1.10-megawatt Rockton Hydroelectric Project on the Rock River in Illinois. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) staff plans to create an Environmental Assessment (EA) to evaluate the project's environmental impact. The public can review and comment on the EA, and these comments will be considered before the final licensing decision is made. For questions or assistance with the process, the public can contact the Commission's Office of Public Participation.
Simple Explanation
Midwest Hydro wants to keep running a water-power project on the Rock River, and some people are checking if it's safe for the environment. People can say what they think before any decisions are made.
