                    k.                     *Description of Proposal:*                     Remediation of the existing dam at Blue Lake is necessary to improve the stability of the downstream slope. The work is required under Part 12 of the Commission's regulations. A drawdown of Blue Lake and a deviation from the target minimum flow, required by article 39, is necessary at Blue and Rucker Lakes (downstream of Blue Lake). Flow will be maintained at or above the allowable minimum stipulated in article 39. The work will be performed from July-October 2000. Refill of the lake will begin after completion of the work and may take up to three years due to the lake's small drainage area. The licensee has consulted with the FWS, CDFG, FS, and the Regional Water Quality Control Board regarding the necessary remediation.                

                    l.                     *Locations of the Application:*                     A copy of the application is available for inspection and reproduction at the Commission's Public Reference Room, 888 First Street, NE, Room 2A, Washington, DC 20426, or call 202-208-1371.
