Hydro Projects

The Office of Project Management and Permitting (OPMP) provides coordination, project review, and permitting assistance for hydroelectric projects, including services such as:

• Review of environmental baseline data and data collection programs,
• Pre-application review of information and data required or requested from state resource agencies,
• Consolidated state agency comments on National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and environmental documents,
• Coordination of permit application timelines with NEPA timeframes,
• Third-party consultant contracts if the technical expertise required does not exist within state resource agencies, and
• A single point of contact to help develop an integrated workplan and schedule for project permitting phases.

If you have a hydroelectric project requiring OPMP assistance please contact Marie Steele or the OPMP main office at 269-8690.
