June 7, 2021: The Low Impact Hydropower Institute has received a complete recertification application from Central Rivers Power for the Gardners Falls Project located on the Deerfield River in Massachusetts.

This is the second time the project will be reviewed using LIHI’s 2nd Edition Handbook. LIHI developed a streamlined application format for such projects to facilitate review in accordance with Section 6.1 of the Handbook. This review process verifies the information submitted, considers any public comments received when the application is deemed complete, and assesses whether there have been any material changes at the facility or in the LIHI Handbook that affect compliance with the LIHI Criteria.
