DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

[Project No. 2212-059]
Domtar Paper Company, LLC; Notice of Revised Schedule for
Environmental Assessment
On August 27, 2024, and supplemented on February 28, 2025, March
14, 2025, September 30, 2025, and November 7, 2025, Domtar Paper
Company, LLC (licensee) filed an application for a non-capacity
amendment for the Rothschild Hydroelectric Project No. 2212. The
project is located on the Wisconsin River in Marathon County,
Wisconsin. The project does not occupy any federal lands.
The licensee requests a non-capacity amendment of its license to
replace the existing timber crib spillway section with two
hydraulically actuated overhead hinged crest gates mounted on a
reinforced concrete crest structure with reinforced concrete piers.
Additionally, a reinforced concrete labyrinth crest structure and
reinforced concrete stilling basins would be constructed for both
spillways. The new spillway is expected to have similar hydraulic
capacity to the timber crib spillway. The licensee does not intend to
draw down the reservoir during construction, which is expected to take
approximately three and a half years to complete.
On June 26, 2025, the Commission issued a Notice of Intent that
informed the public that Commission staff plans to issue an
Environmental Assessment (EA) \1\ by February 23, 2026. Commission
staff is revising the schedule to issue an EA by December 12, 2025. The
EA will be issued for a 30-day comment period. Revisions to the
schedule may be made as appropriate. All comments filed on the EA will
be reviewed by staff and considered in the Commission's final decision
on the proceeding.
