The DRBC would have regulatory oversight is all. BTW, as I was reading this and they spoke about the amount of power to be generated, I noted that the economic power generation figures given are accurate. You can figure on approx. $100,000 on the low end per megawatt up to $150,000 per megawatt per year in income. That does not include the up front costs of the studies, FERC license and hydro generation equipment, just raw gross revenue.
It's amazing the things you learn while working to remove hydro generating dams on a river...
