| Abstract | Long Description |
This purpose of this guidance is to assist utilities, resource agencies, other stakeholders, and the public to understand Ecology′s roles and responsibilities in the licensing of hydroelectric projects. The guidance is designed to be used on line. There are a number of web address and links to additional information. Ecology may update the document if major revisions become necessary. We compiled this guidance manual to help license applicants, tribes, and the public understand and participate in the Department of Ecology′s (Ecology) water quality review process for re-licensing hydropower projects. It outlines Ecology′s expectations for writing, issuing, and overseeing Water Quality Certifications for existing hydropower projects requiring Federal Energy Regulation Commission (FERC) licenses. As guidance, this manual neither limits nor restricts agency action or interpretations of law or policy. It should not be used or relied upon for that purpose. |
