Pine Hydro, LLC filed an Interim
Species Protection Plan (Interim Plan)
for Atlantic salmon and requested
Commission approval to amend the
current Shawmut license to incorporate
the Interim Plan. The Interim Plan
includes measures to protect
endangered Atlantic salmon until the
Commission issues a decision on the
relicense application for the Shawmut
Project.
Also on June 1, 2021, Brookfield
Power US Asset Management, LLC
(Brookfield), on behalf of the affiliated
licensees for the 6.915–MW Lockwood

Weston Hydroelectric Project No. 2325,
filed a Final Species Protection Plan
(Final Plan) for Atlantic salmon,
Atlantic sturgeon, and shortnose
sturgeon and requested Commission
approval to amend the three project

All four projects are located on the

relicensing the Shawmut Project and
amending the licenses of all four

the Interim and Final Plans. The notice
of intent included a schedule for
preparing a draft and final EIS.
On September 21, 2022, Brookfield
filed supplemental information for the
Final Plan, Interim Plan, and License
Application. The filing includes a
delayed mortality analysis for salmon
smolts and additional measures that are
intended to improve the downstream

salmon at the four projects. On October

filing and solicited comments.
Numerous comments were filed by
stakeholders. The EIS will consider
