    The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) announced its intent to prepare an Environmental Assessment (EA) regarding the City of Idaho Falls' planned temporary change in water flow at the Idaho Falls Hydroelectric Project. This variance would facilitate maintenance work on the pelican gates, temporarily stopping the minimum water flow to a part of the Snake River during construction. The public can comment on this variance request until March 31, 2025. FERC plans to complete the EA by June 27, 2025, and offers resources for public involvement through their Office of Public Participation.
