may affect the responsibilities of a particular resource agency, they 
must also serve a copy of the document on that resource agency.
    k. Description of Application: N.E.W. Hydro LLC seeks approval to 
construct an angled fish guidance rack with bypass to guide downstream 
migrating fish around the powerhouse and dam at the Park Mill

Park Mill Fish Passage and Protection Plan (Plan). N.E.W. Hydro LLC is 
also requesting approval to construct a fish lift with sorting/holding 
facilities to provide upstream passage at the Menominee development, 
described as Phase 2 of the Plan. The lake sturgeon is the primary 
target species for upstream and downstream passage around both dams. 
All construction activities associated with Phases 1 and 2 will take 
place within the project boundary and will not require additional 
lands. Phases 3 and 4 of the plan are not proposed at this time but 
will instead be the subject of future amendment applications.
