list for the project. Further, if an intervenor files comments or
documents with the Commission relating to the merits of an issue that

l. Description of Request: The applicant requests a license
amendment to allow for the construction of a 4-foot-high flood wall on
top of the existing left bank retaining wall to prevent flooding of the
powerhouse area during high flow events. The project will continue to
operate in a run-of-river mode under its existing license conditions
throughout the construction and post-construction phase. No new ground
disturbance is expected. The applicant is not proposing any changes to
project operation and the proposed work would have no effect on the
minimum flow release of the project. The applicant would implement best
management practices, as necessary, to control the erosion of soil and
the resulting sedimentation.
