The Non-Powered Dam (NPD) Toolkit, released in October and developed collaboratively by INL and PNNL, compiles regulatory guidance and procedural information to assist stakeholders navigating non-powered dam hydropower development. The toolkit addresses permitting pathways, environmental compliance considerations, and stakeholder engagement processes, providing structured access to commonly requested regulatory information.
Early user feedback indicates that the toolkit improves clarity around regulatory requirements and supports more efficient project review discussions.
