free), or (202) 502-8659 (TTY). In lieu of electronic filing, you may
submit a paper copy. Submissions sent via the U.S. Postal Service must
be addressed to: Kimberly D. Bose, Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission, 888 First Street NE, Room 1A, Washington, DC 20426.
Submissions sent via any other carrier must be addressed to: Kimberly
D. Bose, Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 12225 Wilkins
Avenue, Rockville, Maryland 20852. The first page of any filing should
include the docket number P-2212-055. Comments 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, it
must also
[[Page 6162]]
serve a copy of the document on that resource agency.
k. Description of Request: Domtar Paper Company, LLC (licensee) has
determined that the repair of five inoperable turbine generating units
(Units 1, 2, 4, 5, and 6) is not cost effective, and therefore,
proposes to retire the five units in place. The other two turbine
generating units at the project (Units 3 and 7) would remain in
service, with no changes proposed by the licensee. To retire the five
units, the licensee proposes to disconnect the generator leads from the
units. All proposed activity would occur in the powerhouse, with no
ground disturbing activity necessary. With both the powerhouse and the
spillway section of the dam currently releasing flows into the main
channel of the Wisconsin River downstream, the proposal would result in
a reduced flow through the powerhouse and an increased flow over the
spillway. The proposal would decrease the total authorized capacity of
the project from 3,708 to 948 kilowatts and would decrease the
hydraulic capacity from 3,850 to 1,100 cubic feet per second.
