August 19, 2021:  The Low Impact Hydropower Institute has received an update to the 2017 application for the Willow Island Project.  The original application had been put on hold pending receipt of additional study information. The application has now been reactivated for review.

LIHI is seeking public comment on this application. Specifically, we are interested in knowing whether you think the Project meets the LIHI Low Impact Certification Criteria, as revised in the 2nd Edition Handbook. Please review the program and criteria in LIHI’s revised 手冊 and then review the Project’s application materials 這裡.

Comments that are directly tied to specific LIHI criteria (flows, water quality, 魚道, etc.) will be most helpful, but all comments will be considered. Comments may be submitted to the Institute by e-mail at 評論@lowimpactHydro.org with “Willow Island Project Comments” in the subject line, or by mail addressed to the Low Impact Hydropower Institute, 1167 Massachusetts Avenue, Arlington, MA 02476. Comments must be received on or before 5 pm Eastern time on October 18, 2021 to be considered. 所有評論都將發佈到網站上，申請人將有機會回應。任何回覆也會公佈。
