free), or (202) 502-8659 (TTY). In lieu of electronic filing, you 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, MD 20852. The first page of any filing should
include the docket number P-1984-265. 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, it
must also serve a copy of the document on that resource agency.
k. Description of Request: Wisconsin River Power Company (licensee)
proposes to modify the requirements of Article 401 of the project
license, and revise the approved Operations Compliance Monitoring Plan
(OCMP) consistent with the proposed modifications to Article 401. In
the pertinent part, Article 401 requires the licensee to limit any
reduction in discharge from the Castle Rock Development to a down-
ramping rate not to exceed 1-inch per hour as measured 0.7 miles
downstream of Castle Rock dam. Under the licensee's proposal, the down-
ramping rate would increase to 3.5-inches per hour as measured 0.7
miles downstream of Castle Rock dam. The proposed down-ramping
requirement would only apply to reductions in flow from the Castle Rock
powerhouse and only when inflows to the Petenwell impoundment are
greater than 3,500 cubic feet per second. The licensee proposes
revisions to the OCMP, which would provide further details on the down-
ramping, minimum flow, and reservoir elevation requirements of the
license.
