Published Date: 7/30/2026
Notice
Summary
Domtar Paper Company wants to make some changes to their Rothschild Hydroelectric Project on the Wisconsin River, but these changes won’t affect how much power it produces. The government is now asking the public and agencies to share their thoughts or concerns by August 26, 2026. This is a chance for locals and experts to weigh in before any decisions are made—no big money or time changes expected yet!
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 0 costs, 1 mixed.
Return of Unit 5 and Bigger Capacity
Domtar proposes to repair and reconnect Unit 5 at the Rothschild Hydroelectric Project, increasing the project's installed capacity from 948 kilowatts to 1,748 kilowatts and raising maximum hydraulic capacity from 1,100 to 1,850 cubic feet per second. The project is on the Wisconsin River in Marathon County, Wisconsin.
Flows Shift from Spillway to Powerhouse
The proposal would increase flow through the powerhouse and reduce flow over the spillway at the Rothschild project, and would not require ground disturbance or changes to licensed reservoir elevations or required operations during construction or operation. The application says the powerhouse and spillway both release flows into the main channel of the Wisconsin River downstream.
