The Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure require all

list for the project. Further, if an intervenor files comments or

k. Description of Request: Andro Hydro, LLC (applicant), a
subsidiary of Eagle Creek Renewable Energy, filed a revised application
that limits the proposed amendment to replacement of the existing
flashboards at the Riley development with a rubber dam. The applicant
withdrew the other proposed modifications noticed on November 17, 2023,
including replacement of the existing turbine-generator unit at the Jay
development and installation of gorilla bars at the Riley development,
due to the lack of approved funding. Aside from a short-term drawdown
of the Riley impoundment of approximately 1 to 2 feet below the
permanent spillway crest during construction, the applicant does not
propose any changes to the facility's existing operating regime, either
during construction or following installation of the rubber dam.
