k. Description of Request: The licensee requests Commission
approval to extend the seasonal turbine venting window requirements
specified in the project's Turbine Venting Plan (Plan) through October
31, 2023. The Plan requires the licensee to provide turbine venting
annually between June 15 and August 31 in order to increase dissolved
oxygen levels downstream of Parr Shoals Dam. Article 401(b) of the
project license requires the licensee to obtain Commission approval for
extensions exceeding 30 days. The licensee is seeking Commission
approval to extend the seasonal turbine venting window through October
31, 2023, in light of requests from the South Carolina Department of
Natural Resources and South Carolina Department of Health and
Environmental Control, who are concerned that low dissolved oxygen
levels may persist at the project through fall of 2023.
