During the period July through September of 1985, a number of significant legislative and administrative developments have occurred with respect to the federal hydroelectric regulatory process, as well as in state implementation of Section 210 of the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act. At the federal level, legislative and administrative developments demonstrate an increasing awareness and concern over the environmental consequences of hydroelectic project development. At the state level, utility regulatory agencies continue to address the issues of long term standard contract offers, wheeling, and the increasing concern among utilities of the effect of independent small power development on utility capacity planning.
