k. Description of Request: The City of Abbeville (licensee)
requests approval to implement a temporary drawdown of the reservoir to

proposal, the reservoir would be drawn down 12 feet below the seasonal
minimum elevation of 540 feet msl allowed under Article 401 of the
project's license. The licensee states the drawdown is necessary to
conduct repairs on the penstock fill valve. As proposed in the December
2, 2021 supplement, the drawdown would begin on January 10, 2022, and
the licensee would start refilling the reservoir on January 28, 2022.
The licensee estimates the reservoir refill would take approximately 30
days. As required under Article 403 of the project's license, the
licensee's request includes an associated Reservoir Drawdown Plan for
Commission approval.
