The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, part of the Department of Energy, plans to prepare an environmental assessment of Erie Boulevard Hydropower's application to relicense the Beaver River Hydroelectric Project. The project is on the Beaver River in Herkimer and Lewis Counties, New York. Staff does not expect that licensing the project would significantly affect the quality of the human environment. The assessment is targeted for issuance on October 22, 2027, followed by a 30-day comment period.
