[[Page 67468]]
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-201-033. 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, they
must also serve a copy of the document on that resource agency.
k. Description of Request: The licensee proposes to replace and
refurbish project equipment which would require an amendment to the
license to update the project description (Exhibit A), Exhibit F
drawings, and the Article 404 Flow Continuation Plan to reflect the
proposed project modifications and describe the method for delivering
water to the Crystal Lake Hatchery during an extended project outage.
The licensee proposes to replace generating equipment (Unit 3) and to
decommission Units 1 and 2. The project currently consists of two
powerhouses containing generating units with rated capacities of 1,600
kilowatts (kW) and 400 kW. The upgraded project generating equipment
would consist of a new turbine generator with a rated capacity of 1,822
kW and the generating unit would be housed in a single powerhouse (Unit
3). The second powerhouse and its generating equipment (Unit 1 and 2)
would be decommissioned. The applicant states the major generating
equipment (turbine, generator, and governor) is reaching the end of its
service life and needs replacement. Additionally, the penstock leading
to the primary powerhouse that would be used to house the upgraded
generating equipment requires repairs to provide extended service life.
The proposed changes to the generating equipment would result in an
increase in the maximum hydraulic capacity of less than 15 percent and
an increase in name-plate capacity of less than 2 megawatts.
