FERC has issued a Notice of Intent to prepare an Environmental Assessment for the Luray and Newport Hydroelectric Project No. 2425, a two-development project on the South Fork of the Shenandoah River in Page County, Virginia. The applicant, PE Hydro Generation, LLC, filed a new major license application on January 3, 2022, for the 1,600-kW Luray and 1,400-kW Newport developments. FERC staff determined the project does not constitute a major federal action significantly affecting human environment, so an EA rather than an EIS will be prepared, with issuance targeted for December 31, 2025.12
