The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) staff plan to prepare an environmental assessment for Erie Boulevard Hydropower's application to relicense the Beebee Island Hydroelectric Project in Jefferson County, New York. The 7.75-megawatt project sits on the Black River. Staff do not expect that licensing it would significantly affect the quality of the human environment. The assessment is targeted for issuance on October 22, 2027, followed by a 30-day public comment period.
