West-of-Hudson Hydroelectric Project

West-of-Hudson Hydroelectric Project
	Overview The New York City Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) has prepared and submitted a preliminary permit application with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to study the development of hydroelectric power generation at four of its reservoirs in the Delaware and Catskill watersheds. The proposal is considering development on the Cannonsville, Pepacton, Neversink, and Schohaire reservoirs. On March 20, 2009 the FERC awarded a preliminary permit to the City giving it three years to complete the necessary studies to file for a license application. This is an open process that involves close collaboration with many federal and state regulating authorities, local political subdivisions, Indian tribes, and non-governmental entities. Publicly accessible documents/information produced during this process will be available on-line by following the links on this page.
