Goodyear Lake Hydro filed the Settlement on behalf of itself, the United States Department of the Interior—Fish and Wildlife Service, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, and Susquehanna River Basin Commission. Goodyear Lake Hydro states that the goal of the Settlement is to provide for the continued operation of the Colliersville Project with the appropriate long-term environmental and recreation protection, enhancement, and mitigation measures that meet the diverse objectives of maintaining a balance of non-power and power values associated with the project. The Settlement provides for the resolution of operational, fisheries, wildlife, recreational, and water quality issues raised by the signatories to the Settlement. Goodyear Lake Hydro states that the agreements in the Settlement constitute an integrated and indivisible set of measures intended to address non-power and power values relating to the licensing of the Colliersville Project and requests that all terms of the Settlement be incorporated as license conditions, without modification, in any subsequent license issued for the project. The signatories to the Settlement also request a 40-year license term for the project. Lastly, the Settlement incorporates, by reference, a Northern Long-Eared Bat and Bald Eagle Protection Plan (Appendix A) and an Invasive Species Management Plan (Appendix B). l.
