    The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) has reviewed an application by Aclara Meters, LLC, to surrender its Somersworth Hydroelectric Project on the Salmon Falls River in New Hampshire and Maine. Aclara's application was evaluated through an environmental assessment (EA), which concluded that ending the project would not significantly impact the human environment. The public can view the EA and submit comments electronically via the FERC website within 30 days of this notice. For more information, individuals can contact FERC's Diana Shannon.

    Simple Explanation

People can say what they think about it by going online, but it might be tricky if they don't know how to use the computer system.
