The licensee must file a new license application at least 24 months before the existing license expires.1 In addition to publishing notice in papers of general circulation, the licensee must serve the application on each participant who has been consulted in the proceeding and any adjacent property owners.2
A new license application runs into the thousands of pages. The information is in a standard form. The application must identify the licensee and primary contact. It must also identify affected persons in several categories: owners of any lands or waters needed for project construction, operation, or maintenance; any other adjacent property owners; affected federal, state and local agencies, including the county in which the project is located; and affected tribes.3
The application must contain Exhibits A-F and G, as described in Section 3.2.2(C) reference.
