The City of Orrville, OH, has surrendered its license for the Pike Island hydropower project before FERC.

FERC is holding two scoping meetings to get public input regarding Pacific Gas & Electric’s (PG&E) proposal to surrender the license for the Kilarc-Cow project and remove the diversion dam.

With the start of dam breaching, this week marked an end to the long controversy in removal of Fort Halifax dam

A FERC rehearing on the Sullivan Creek Project concluded that the current license for this project is still valid and the PUD will be required to apply for surrender of license for decommissioning.

American Whitewater/Washington State Agencies file petitions for rehearing of an August decision of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission finding that the licensee for the Sullivan Creek Project has no need to relicense the project.

The 1.5-megawatt Fort Halifax Project on the Sebasticook River in Maine remains to be partially removed despite an effort by local interest groups to appeal the decision.

FERC's recent issuance of an order regarding the Ft. Halifax dam signaled at least a temporary end to a standing controversy over the Commission's responsibilities and obligations with respect to settlement agreements. On January 22, 2004, FERC issued its final order for the Ft. Halifax Project on the Sebasticook River upholding its original 1998 settlement that required dam removal in the absence of construction of a fish lift.
