The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) has announced that a new major license application for the Townsend Water Power Project on the Beaver River in Pennsylvania is ready for environmental analysis. The application was filed by the Beaver Falls Municipal Authority and involves various project facilities including a dam, reservoir, and power generation units with a total capacity of 5,000 kilowatts. Interested parties have 60 days from the notice's issuance date to submit comments, recommendations, or prescriptions. FERC encourages electronic submission through their eFiling system and provides contact details for support and further information.
Simple Explanation
The government is looking at a plan to let a town in Pennsylvania use river water to make electricity. People can tell the government what they think about this plan, but they must do it quickly and mostly online.
