America’s Water Infrastructure Act
The America’s Water Infrastructure Act, among other things, requires expedited review and decision-making on proposed projects at non-powered dams.
LPDD Recommendation: “Congress should create a new licensing or “exemption” program for the purpose of authorizing new hydropower development at non-powered dams.”
LPDD Recommendation: “Congress should limit the conditioning authority of FERC and other agencies to preclude conditions that would materially modify water release schedules at existing non-powered dams.”
