Public Scoping Session for the Northwoods Project (PF26-6-000) (Lakewood, WI)

Docket No. PF26-6-000

By this notice, the Commission requests public comments on the scope of issues to address in the environmental document.  To ensure that your comments are timely and properly recorded, please submit your comments so that the Commission receives them in Washington, DC on or before 5:00 pm Eastern Time on July 29, 2026.  Comments may be submitted in written or oral form.  Further details on how to submit comments are provided in the Public Participation section of this notice.

Your comments should focus on the potential environmental effects, reasonable alternatives, and measures to avoid or lessen environmental effects.  Your input will help the Commission staff determine what issues they need to evaluate in the environmental document.  Commission staff will consider all written and oral comments during the preparation of the environmental document. 

If you submitted comments on this project to the Commission before the opening of this docket on March 12, 2026, you will need to file those comments in Docket No. PF26-6-000 to ensure they are considered. 

Your scoping comments will be recorded by a court reporter (with FERC staff or representative present) and become part of the public record for this proceeding.  Transcripts will be publicly available on FERC’s eLibrary system (see the last page of this notice for instructions on using eLibrary).  If a significant number of people are interested in providing oral comments in the one-on-one settings, a time limit of 5 minutes may be implemented for each commentor. 

It is important to note that the Commission provides equal consideration to all comments received, whether filed in written form or provided orally at a scoping session.  Although there will not be a formal presentation, Commission staff will be available throughout the scoping session to answer your questions about the environmental review process.  Representatives from ANR will also be present to answer project-specific questions.
