Relicensing to Authorize the

Continued Operation of Hydroelectric

Project, Snake River, Washington and

Summary: EPA has environmental

objections to the proposed relicensing in

light of the potential for the project to

continue to cause or contribute to water

quality criteria exceedence and related

adverse impacts on designated uses.

EPA recommended that the final EIS

analyze, as appropriate, mitigation

measures that would help meet

applicable water quality standards. EPA

also recommended that the final EIS

evaluate an alternative that

demonstrates that the project’s

contribution to water quality standard

exceedences would be addressed

throughout the Project area or discuss

why such an alternative was not

considered reasonable.
