Final Decision – Recertification of the Clement Dam Project, LIHI #117, NH
2020 年 3 月 16 日Lexington MA (March 5, 2020): The Low Impact Hydropower Institute has preliminarily approved Low Impact Recertification for the Penacook Upper Hydroelectric Project, LIHI #52. There is one mandatory and one option condition on the Certificate.
條件一: Since the Project is in relicensing and is likely to receive a new 聯邦能源監管委員會 license during the new LIHI Certification term, the facility Owner shall provide to LIHI as part of the annual compliance reports, a brief status summary of the FERC licensing progress listing significant agency interactions that have occurred in the past year that are relevant to any LIHI criteria, the results of any relicensing studies, and highlighting major topics of agreement or disagreement. LIHI reserves the right to modify conditions and/or reassess Certification in light of new agency recommendations or if a new license changes Project operations or facilities related to the LIHI criteria.
Condition 2 (optional): If at any time prior to six months before the expiration of the Certification term the Facility Owner has implemented upstream eel passage at the Project in advance of a new FERC license, LIHI will review that information and determine whether or not to award a PLUS standard and extend the Certificate term for three additional years.
該決定是初步決定,需等待 30 天的上訴期。只有在 60 天的評論期內對初始申請發表評論的人才有資格提出上訴。此類上訴需要包括有關該項目為何不符合 LIHI 標準的解釋。申訴請求可以透過電子郵件發送至 評論@lowimpactHydro.org with “Penacook Upper Hydroelectric Project” in the subject line, or by mail addressed to the Low Impact Hydropower Institute, 329 Massachusetts Ave, Suite 6, Lexington, MA 02420.
