Author(s):
Abstract:
In July, the North Carolina Environmental Management Commission denied a Request for a Declaratory Ruling on the validity and applicability of rules on minimum releases from dams. The request was brought by owners of small hydropower dams, who assert that they are being adversely affected by recommendations that standard minimum releases from their dams be increased.
