Document - East Rosebud Hydroelectric Project Motion to Intervene

Abstract

The proposed project would have significant negative impacts on recreational, aesthetic, and ecological values, as well as the free flowing nature, of East Rosebud Creek. These impacts, if allowed to occur, would violate directives and policies governing the management of a river found eligible for designation under the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act. The United States Forest Service must, and has the authority to, issue mandatory conditions preventing these impacts from occurring. It is illegal to build any hydropower project on East Rosebud Creek, ever. For these reasons, it would not be responsible of FERC to issue preliminary permit for this project. We ask that FERC reject this application for a preliminary permit, because licensing this project is legally impossible, and therefore the preliminary permit would not be in the public interest.

Description

Intervention of American Whitewater on the Preliminary Permit application for the East Rosebud Hydroelectric Project proposed by Hydrodynamics Inc. (FERC P-13531).
