The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) staff plan to prepare an environmental assessment of Erie Boulevard Hydropower's application to relicense the Black River Hydroelectric Project on the Black River in Jefferson County, New York. Staff say licensing the project is not expected to be a major federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment. The assessment is targeted for issue on October 22, 2027, followed by a 30-day comment period. Comments will be considered in the Commission's final licensing decision.
