This assessment reviews the potential environmental impacts of re-licensing the project and concludes that, with protective measures, it should not significantly affect the environment. The public can view or print the EA through FERC's website and has 30 days to file comments electronically or by mail. The Office of Public Participation is available to assist the public with inquiries and filings related to the project.
