Issuance of Environmental Assessment (EA) for Pelican Project
📍 Pelican, AK
About this event
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) has announced its intent to prepare an Environmental Assessment (EA) regarding the application for a new minor license for the 0.7-megawatt Pelican Project (FERC No. 10198). The project is located on Pelican Creek in the City of Pelican, Alaska.
Commission staff issued a notice that the project was ready for environmental analysis on March 2, 2026. Based on the current record, staff does not anticipate that the licensing will constitute a major federal action significantly affecting the human environment. The EA will be circulated for public review, and all comments will be considered in the final licensing decision.
The project is currently scheduled for the issuance of the EA on January 29, 2027. The application is being processed under the authority of 18 CFR 2.1, and the unique identification number for the environmental review is EAXX-019-20-000-1777997768.
