Overview
Hydropower projects must navigate a series of federal, state, tribal, and local approvals to receive authorization for construction. The Hydropower Regulatory and Permitting Information Desktop (RAPID) Toolkit offers a solution to the complex system of federal and state regulations that must be addressed to secure hydropower project approval. The RAPID Toolkit provides easy access to federal and state permitting information, best practices, and reference material for conventional hydro, micro hydro, and pumped storage development projects.
