Tribal Consultation Meeting on the Proposed Relicensing of the Tower and Kleber Hydroelectric Project No. 10615

Project No. 10615-058

Commission staff will hold a meeting to consult with Tribes on the project’s relicensing and cultural resources at the project. 

The consultation meeting is open to all.  Participation in the discussion, however, will be limited to the Tribes and Commission staff.  The relicense applicant, Tower Kleber Limited Partnership, will be given an opportunity to describe its relicensing proposal for the project.  Others attending may do so as observers only.    

There will be no transcript of the meeting, but a summary of the meeting will be prepared for the project record.  In accordance with the requirements of section 304 of the National Historic Preservation Act and implementing regulations,[1] if the Tribes decide to disclose information about a specific location that could create a risk or harm to an archeological site or Native American cultural resource, attendees will be excused for that portion of the meeting and can return to the meeting after such information is disclosed.  Commission staff’s meeting summary will include an unredacted privileged version and a redacted public version that excludes information about the specific location of the archeological site or Native American cultural resource.
