emailed to Commission staff are not considered part of the Commission
record.
The Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure require all
intervenors filing documents with the Commission to serve a copy of
that document on each person whose name appears on the official service
list for the project. Further, if an intervenor files comments or
documents with the Commission relating to the merits of an issue that
may affect the responsibilities of a particular resource agency, they
must also serve a copy of the document on that resource agency.
k. Description of Request: The licensee requests a temporary
variance from the juvenile American shad downstream passage protection
flows required by Article 401 of the project license, the Pennsylvania
Department of Environmental Protection's Water Quality Certificate
(WQC) condition III.B.3.a.i, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's
fishway prescription, section 9.9.6.a.ii. The licensee is required to
spill 370 cubic feet per second (cfs) from the forebay sluice gate from
1700 to 2300 hours throughout the downstream juvenile American shad
passage period, from October 1 through November 30. These flows are
required until a nature-like fishway is completed at the project. The
licensee began construction of downstream passage facilities at the
forebay sluice gate in July 2021 and had been scheduled to complete
construction by September 30, 2021. As a result of Tropical Storm Ida,
the licensee could not safely conduct construction activities and had
to remove equipment from the river until tailwater elevations abated.
Due to these construction delays, the licensee now anticipates
completing work by November 15, 2021. The licensee indicates that it
would make every effort to complete construction sooner, and that it
would release the 370 cfs protection flows from the sluice gate
immediately upon being able to safely do so. The licensee would
continue to provide downstream flows via its generating units as
required by WQC condition III.B.3.1.i and fishway prescription section
9.9.6.a.i. The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection and
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service support the variance request.
