[Project No. 2446-052]
STS Hydropower, LLC; Notice of Intent To Prepare an Environmental
Assessment
On August 30, 2022, STS Hydropower, LLC filed a relicense
application for a new major license to continue operating the 3.20-
megawatt Dixon Hydroelectric Project No. 2446 (Dixon Project). The
project is located on the Rock River, near the City of Dixon in Lee and
Ogle Counties, Illinois.
In accordance with the Commission's regulations, on December 4,
2024, Commission staff issued a notice that the Dixon 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 Dixon 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 Dixon Project.
The EA will be issued and circulated for review by all interested
parties. All comments filed on the EA will be analyzed by staff and
considered in the Commission's final licensing decision.
The Commission's Office of Public Participation (OPP) supports
meaningful public engagement and participation in Commission
proceedings. OPP can help members of the public, including landowners,
community organizations, Tribal members and others, access publicly
available information and navigate Commission processes. For public
inquiries and assistance with making filings such as interventions,
comments, or requests for rehearing, the public is encouraged to
contact OPP at (202) 502-6595 or <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#ffb0afafbf999a8d9cd1989089"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="98d7c8c8d8fefdeafbb6fff7ee">[email protected]</span></a>.
The application will be processed according to the following
schedule. Revisions to the schedule may be made as appropriate.
