    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.
