k. Description of Request: The licensee requests Commission
approval to grant the City of Hickory (City) permission to use project
lands and water within the project boundary on Lake Hickory for the
operation of the existing Long View Water Intake Facility (Facility).
The City purchased the Facility from the previous owner in 2016, and
since then, has been using the Facility as an emergency back-up for its
primary water intake facility, located outside of the project boundary.
Therefore, the City only operates the Facility in the event that its
primary intake is unavailable due to natural disaster, accidental
spill, or other similar circumstances. When in operation, the maximum
withdrawal rate of the Facility is 2 million gallons per day (MGD). The
City is not proposing to modify the Facility in any way; therefore,
there is no construction associated with the request.
