STS Hydropower, LLC (a subsidiary of Eagle Creek Renewable Energy) and the City of Danville, VA are the co-licensees for the facility. The facility's current license was issued in 1994 and expires in 2024. On May 31, 2019, the licensee submitted documentation to the FERC to initiate the process of re-licensing the Schoolfield facility. Licensing Process The licensees are following a FERC process known as the Traditional Licensing Process (TLP). The TLP is one of three approved processes, described on the FERC website here: https://www.ferc.gov/industries/hydropower/gen-info/licensing/licen-pro.asp. Currently, the process is in the first stage: the licensee has filed a notice of intent, preliminary application document (PAD), request to use TLP, and newspaper notice; the FERC has approved the use of the TLP; and the licensees have conducted a Joint Agency Meeting (JAM) and Site Visit. The PAD and JAM presentation are available for download below. Interested parties have an opportunity to file written comments and study requests with the FERC and the licensees until November 18, 2019.
