Eagle Creek Reusens Hydro, LLC; Notice of Intent To Prepare an Environmental Assessment
On February 28, 2022, Eagle Creek Reusens Hydro, LLC filed a relicense application for the 12.5-megawatt Reusens Hydroelectric Project No. 2376 (Reusens Project or project). The project is located on the James River in Bedford and Amherst Counties, Virginia.
In accordance with the Commission's regulations, on May 13, 2025, Commission staff issued a notice that the Reusens Project was ready for environmental analysis (REA Notice). Based on the information in the record, including comments filed on the REA Notice, staff does not anticipate that licensing the Reusens 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 relicense the Reusens Project. 1
