Scoping Process Juneau Hydropower, Inc. (Juneau Hydropower) is using the Commission’s alternative licensing process (ALP).

Juneau Hydropower expects to file, with the Commission, the APEA and the license application for the Sweetheart Lake project by November 30, 2012.

Nevertheless, this meeting will satisfy the scoping requirements, pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as amended, irrespective of whether an EA or EIS is issued by the Commission. The purpose of this notice is to inform you of the opportunity to participate in the upcoming scoping meetings identified below, and to solicit your scoping comments. Scoping Meetings Juneau Hydropower and the Commission staff will hold two scoping meetings, one in the daytime and one in the evening, to help us identify the scope of issues to be addressed in the APEA. The daytime scoping meeting will focus on resource agency concerns, while the evening scoping meeting is primarily for public input.
