This bill amends the law governing hydropower projects to require an applicant for a permit to remove a dam that is part of a hydropower project to provide to the Department of Environmental Protection or to the Maine Land Use Planning Commission, as applicable, an evaluation of the monetary value of the electrical or mechanical power that the dam is capable of generating. The applicant must also demonstrate to the department or commission that the applicant made all reasonable efforts to sell the dam and was unable to reach an agreement on a sale with an alternative owner. The department or commission is authorized to adopt routine technical rules to implement these requirements.
