k. Description of Request: In response to the Commission's March

as a project feature to the existing license for the Hells Canyon
Project. However, the licensee explained that the existing hatchery
building has become increasingly difficult to maintain and/or repair,
due in part to its age. The hatchery building also does not meet modern
industry safety standards. As such, the licensee additionally requests
to amend the project license to demolish the existing hatchery
structures and construct a new and modern Oxbow Fish Hatchery in the
same location. The licensee does not propose to modify hatchery
operations or larger project operations.
