experience by participating in the relicensing process. Kearns explained that the
Stakeholder Team’s main focus will be to balance all resource interests to develop a
preferred alternative for FERC’s Environmental Assessment (EA). Kearns explained that,
each RC is grouped in a resource area that FERC will review as part of the EA. He went
on to further explain how each RC will operate and interact with the Stakeholder Team.
� He went on to further explain that in order to effectively develop a preferred
alternative, the Team will need to understand what items should be included in a
license, such as project operations, recreation, shoreline management, fisheries, and
aesthetics. Many of the answers to questions relating to these areas will be answered
through the studies.
