Published Date: 5/9/2025
Notice
Summary
Eagle Creek Madison Hydro, LLC wants to change the boundary of their Anson Hydroelectric Project on Maine’s Kennebec River. This update could affect local land use and environmental oversight, and the public has until June 4, 2025, to share their thoughts or get involved. No big money changes are mentioned, but it’s a key step in keeping the project running smoothly and responsibly.
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 0 costs, 1 mixed.
Transmission Line Relocation Near Anson
The licensee proposes to relocate a 1,250-foot section of the project's transmission line a negligible distance southwest of its current location and install six new transmission poles. The move would not change the transmission line length or the quantity of lands inside the project boundary, and would cause only minor ground disturbance in a previously disturbed area; the Anson-Madison Sanitary District will manage construction and agency consultation.
Public Participation Opportunity and Assistance
The public may file comments, protests, or motions to intervene in the FERC proceeding for the Anson Project on or before June 4, 2025. The Commission encourages electronic filing and its Office of Public Participation can help landowners, Tribal members, and others access information and navigate filing interventions or comments.
