FERC is preparing an Environmental Assessment for Tygart LLC's application to amend the license for the Tygart Hydroelectric Project No. 12613, an unconstructed project at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Tygart Dam on the Tygart River in Taylor County, West Virginia. The proposed modifications include reconfiguring the project intake to add a fish exclusion net, replacing turbine units with three vertical Kaplan turbines, and reconfiguring the powerhouse and penstock. These changes would not alter installed or hydraulic capacity. FERC staff plans to issue the EA by January 9, 2026, followed by a 30-day public comment period.12
