Northern Illinois Hydropower, LLC; Notice of Intent To Prepare an Environmental Assessment

Published Date: 2/9/2026

Notice

Summary

Northern Illinois Hydropower wants to change its Dresden Island project by making the powerhouse smaller, swapping big turbines for more but smaller ones, and tweaking power lines. This means the project will produce a bit less electricity, dropping from 10.96 MW to 9.56 MW. The government will check the environmental impact and plans to share their report by July 14, 2026, giving everyone a chance to weigh in before final decisions.
