Boott Hydropower LLC: Revised Procedural Schedule for Lowell Hydroelectric Project Relicense Application
AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) has issued a notice revising the procedural schedule for processing the major license renewal application filed by Boott Hydropower, LLC for the Lowell Hydroelectric Project (Project No. 2790), a 15.012-megawatt facility. The original relicense application was submitted on April 30, 2021, and an amendment was filed on June 20, 2025. Following the July 14, 2025 Notice of Material Amendment, FERC had anticipated issuing a 'Ready for Environmental Analysis' notice by March 2026. This updated notice pushes that milestone back to May 2026, reflecting a two-month delay in the environmental review process. The revision is administrative in nature and does not alter the substantive requirements of the relicense application. Further schedule adjustments may be made as circumstances warrant. Inquiries can be directed to FERC contact Bill Connelly at (202) 502-8587 or william.connelly@ferc.gov.
