    k. Description of Request: Great Lakes Hydro America, LLC requests 
Commission approval for temporary modifications from normal reservoir 
elevation to perform spillway repairs at the Cross Power Project. The 
licensee is proposing to lower the headpond to elevation 917.7 feet 
United Sates Geologic Datum (USGS), six inches below the concrete crest 
of the spillway (for worker safety), while the flashboards are being 
installed and removed. Once the flashboard work is completed, the 
licensee will maintain the headpond at or above the spillway crest 
elevation of 918.2 feet. Great Lakes Hydro America, LLC is proposing to 
begin the drawdown starting on July 1, 2018, and continue through 
September 2018. Great Lakes Hydro America, LLC does not foresee any 
recreational impacts for this project since the repair activities are 
limited to a section of the Androscoggin River with limited access.
