Final License Application (updated 9/5/08)

Notice of Intent

South Carolina Electric & Gas Company (SCE&G) filed it's Notice of Intent to relicense the Saluda Hydro Project on April 29, 2005 (press release). Once a licensee has filed this Notice of Intent or NOI, the formal process of relicensing begins. Along with the NOI, the licensee must distribute an Initial Consultation Document (ICD) to state and federal resource agencies, affected tribes, and members of the public with an interest in the project. The ICD serves as the foundation for relicensing issue development, containing information about the relicensing process, project facilities, and baseline environmental data.
