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:
Debbie-Anne A. Reese, Acting Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission, 888 First Street NE, Room 1A, Washington, DC 20426.
Submissions sent via any other carrier must be addressed to: Debbie-
Anne A. Reese, Acting Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission,
12225 Wilkins Avenue, Rockville, MD 20852. The first page of any filing
should include the docket number P-2726-076. 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.
l. Description of Request: The applicant requests a license
amendment to replace the flop gate hoist system with a bottom hinging
weir gate system, widen the spillway deck upstream, install new
guardrail/handrail on spillway deck, replace flop gate and Tainter gate
hoist systems, remove flop gate access platforms, install new and
additional light poles and lamps, and add 110 Volt outlets along the
diversion. The proposed work is planned to occur only during low flow
periods (estimated between July and December of 2027) and the applicant
does not expect to shut down the lower development's powerhouse during
construction. No new ground disturbance is expected, and all work will
be above the high-water mark. The applicant is not proposing any
changes to project operation and the proposed work will have no effect
on the minimum flow release of the project. Public access for kayaking
and fishing will be affected during construction since the applicant
would close off the area for a day or two at a time for deliveries and
staging. However, the applicant will allow foot access to the area for
fishing and kayaking below the work area. The application will also
put-up signs and media notices to the public before any closures.
m. Locations of the Application: This filing may be viewed on the
Commission's website at <a href="http://www.ferc.gov">http://www.ferc.gov</a> using the ``eLibrary''
link.
