Lake Powell Pipeline Modified Environmental Studies To Be Presented

The Utah Board of Water Resources (UBWR) submitted to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) four modified draft study reports for the Lake Powell Pipeline. The four study reports were modified to consider natural gas to power the pumps of the pipeline. The modified draft reports are for air quality, noise, socioeconomics, and visual resources. The public has an opportunity to comment on these studies. These studies will be used as the basis for getting FERC’s hydropower License and used for the upcoming Draft Environmental Impact Statement due out in a year.
