assess channel stability following regular flow maintenance releases.

upper powerhouse to instead conduct dredging in the lower project 
reservoir to improve fish habitat. The licensee is also proposing to 
modify license article 414 which requires it to coordinate with various 
entities to reestablish trout stocking at the project and conduct creel 
surveys to instead construct community fishing piers at the upper and 
lower reservoirs and a handicap accessible ramp at the lower project 
reservoir.
