PE Hydro Generation, LLC; Notice of Intent To Prepare an Environmental Assessment
On January 3, 2022, the PE Hydro Generation, LLC filed a new major license application for the 1,600-kilowatt (kW) Luray and 1,400-kW Newport Hydroelectric Project No. 2425 (project). The two-development Luray and Newport Project is located on the South Fork of the Shenandoah River near the Towns of Luray (Luray Development) and Newport (Newport Development) in Page County, Virginia.
In accordance with the Commission's regulations, on October 18, 2024, Commission staff issued a notice that the project was ready for environmental analysis (REA Notice). Based on the information in the record, staff does not anticipate that licensing the project would constitute a major Federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment. Therefore, staff intends to prepare an Environmental Assessment (EA) on the application to license the project. 1
