list for the project. Further, if an intervenor files comments or
documents with the Commission relating to the merits of an issue that

k. Description of Request: The applicant proposes a temporary
variance from the target water surface elevation requirements of
Article 401 of the license (181.8 <plus-minus> 0.5 feet Plant Datum
which is 0.37 foot above mean sea level) to facilitate a scheduled a
drawdown of the project impoundment, Lake Worth. The purpose of the
drawdown is to provide for installation of new shoreline structures and
maintenance of existing shoreline structures. The licensee will lower
Lake Worth approximately 3.5 feet from the lower limit of the normal
target elevation range, 181.3 feet, to an elevation of 177.8 <plus-
minus> 0.5 feet. The drawdown is scheduled to begin on September 27,
2022, and the licensee proposes to utilize a drawdown rate of one half-
foot per day. The licensee anticipates reaching the target drawdown
elevation of 177.8 feet on October 3, 2022 and remain at the target
drawdown elevation for four weeks. The licensee plans to begin
refilling Lake Worth on November 1, 2022. The licensee states that the
completion of refilling the reservoir would be dependent on
precipitation and the releases from the upstream Lake Blackshear
Hydroelectric Project No. 659. The licensee will continue to operate to
comply with Article 401 run-of-river operations requirement when it
reaches the target drawdown elevation of 177.8 feet.
