Commission, 888 First Street NE, Room 1A, Washington, DC 20426.
Submissions sent via any other carrier must be addressed to: Kimberly

Avenue, Rockville, Maryland 20852. The first page of any filing should

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, they
must also serve a copy of the document on that resource agency.
k. Description of Request: The applicant proposes to replace the
existing four-foot-high wooden flashboard spillway gates with Obermeyer
gates at the Goat Rock Development of the project. The Obermeyer gates
would allow the applicant to regulate the Goat Rock lake levels more
effectively. The applicant
[[Page 64786]]
would raise and lower the Obermeyer gates to match inflows more closely
during high flow events. The applicant would perform all work to
install the Obermeyer gates behind a bulkhead that would be anchored on
the upstream side of the dam. The Obermeyer gate installation is
expected to last 18 to 24 months. This proposed action does not require
a drawdown of Goat Rock Lake. The applicant proposes laydown areas in
previously disturbed areas and to construct a temporary pier/platform
for equipment. During construction and following the Obermeyer gate
installation, the licensee would operate the Goat Rock Lake and
powerhouse within the current project license range of 398-404 feet.
The applicant states that the proposal does not change any of the
project features or operations. The project will continue to operate
under the terms of its current license and applicable Water Quality
Certification.
