via any other carrier must be addressed to: Debbie-Anne A. Reese,

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

l. Description of Request: The applicant requests an amendment of
the project license to abandon a 13,566-foot-long section of the
existing flowline, comprised of steel flume, steel pipe, and concrete-
lined canal, and replace it with a steel pipe 4 feet in diameter and
8,575 feet long. The proposed pipe would be fully or partially buried
for approximately a third of its length and would be supported on
concrete saddles for the remainder of its length. Construction would
take place over approximately 6 months and would require a 30-foot-wide
construction corridor as well as three staging areas occupying a total
of 3.7 acres. The applicant intends to remove loose sheet metal flume
sections from the existing flowline, but would abandon wooden trestles,
concrete canals, and steel pipe in place.
