Meldahl gets at least one green light

By Josh Rinaldi | Tuesday, April 29, 2008, 10:31 AM

Work on Meldahl, the would-be second hydroelectric plant on the Ohio River that serves the city of Hamilton, is moving along in the review process with the federal government.

City Manager Mark Brandenburger said in his weekly report that the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission has posted the environmental assessment for the project. Consequently, public comment will proceed for the next 30 days.

This is the final step toward obtaining the hydroelectric license for the city to begin construction. Brandenburger reports that the license could be here as early as July. With rising coal and environmental costs, he calls this “very, very good news indeed.”
