On the recordApril 16, 1996
H.R. 2630 as amended directs the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to extend the deadline for construction of a hydroelectric project in Illinois. This 78-megawatt project would be located at an existing Corps of Engineers dam on the Mississippi River, in St. Charles County, MO, and Madison County, IL. There was a previous legislative extension of the construction period for this project in the 1991 highway bill. There is good reason to act on H.R. 2630 in a timely manner, since the construction deadline expired on October 15, 1995, and FERC has issued a notice of probable termination. This bill was introduced by our colleague, Representative Jerry Costello of Illinois. I urge my colleagues to support H.R. 2630.
