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

k. Description of Request: Great Lakes Hydro America LLC.
(applicant) requests Commission approval for a temporary variance from
the normal reservoir elevation to conduct concrete repairs to the
forebay headgate structure which were identified in the 11th (2019)
Part 12 Inspection Recommendations. The applicant requests to draw down
the head pond from elevation of 901.4 feet to 897.2 feet (i.e., 4.2
feet from normal operating level) for a period of approximately twelve
weeks beginning in June 2023 to dewater the concrete areas in need of
repair. The applicant would lower the head pond at a rate not to exceed
3 inches per hour to avoid potential fish stranding and maintain the
minimum required bypass flow of 6 cubic feet per second via leakage
(consistent with operations during routine flashboard replacement).
Once the repairs are completed, the head pond will be refilled at a
rate not to exceed 3 inches per hour. The applicant requests the
temporary variance to remain into effect until the end of September
2023.
