¶ 61,179 (2023). 

Submissions sent via any other carrier

Energy Regulatory Commission, 12225 

Wilkins Avenue, Rockville, Maryland 

20852. The first page of any filing 

should include the docket number P– 

7987–016. Comments emailed to 

Commission staff are not considered 

part of the Commission record. 

The Commission’s Rules of Practice 

and Procedure require all intervenors 

filing documents with the Commission 

to serve a copy of that document on 

each person whose name appears on the 

official service list for the project. 

Further, if an intervenor files comments 

or documents with the Commission 

relating to the merits of an issue that 

may affect the responsibilities of a 

particular resource agency, they must 

also serve a copy of the document on 

that resource agency. 

m. Description of Request: The 

applicant proposes to surrender its 

exemption for the project. In September 

2018, flooding associated with 

Hurricane Florence affected the project 

and filled the turbines and generators 

with mud and debris and caused the 

project to become inoperable. The 

applicant proposes to remove High Falls 

Dam and the impounded reservoir 

behind the dam. The removal of the 

dam would restore habitat in the Deep 

River for a variety of aquatic species, 

including the federally endangered Cape 

Fear Shiner and federally threatened 

Atlantic Pigtoe and return the Deep 

River to its historic channel and bed 

conditions. The applicant has been 

consulting with federal and state 

agencies including the U.S. Fish and 

Wildlife Service, U.S. Army Corps of 

Engineers, National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration, North 

Carolina Wildlife Resources 

Commission, North Carolina 

Department of Environmental Quality, 

and North Carolina Historic 

Preservation Office.

l. Description of Request: During 

relicensing consultation with interested 

parties which began in 2020, the 

licensee determined that the cost of 

relicensing the project, as well as 

anticipated mitigation measures, would 

render the project uneconomic. Thus, 

the licensee proposes to surrender its 

license. The licensee proposes to 

remove all generating equipment, 

including the equipment diverging from 

the main penstocks including the 

turbine, generator, gate valve, and elbow 

for each unit. The electrical conduit in 

the powerhouse, the motor controllers, 

and the generation cables up to the 

interconnection point would also be 

removed. Surrender activities would be 

confined to the powerhouse. No changes 

to the dam, which is owned by 

Washington Suburban Sanitary 

Commission (WSSC), are proposed. The 

primary use of WSSC’s dam and 

reservoir is to provide a water source to 

surrounding counties. No changes to 

this water supply are proposed as part 

of surrender. The licensee is not 

proposing any ground disturbing 

activities or any changes to the 

environment in the project area.
