l. Description of Request: The 

licensees request Commission approval 

to suspend upstream fish passage 

activities during the spring 2024 fish 

passage season to prevent the spread of 

the invasive northern snakehead 

(Channa argus), blue catfish (Ictarlurus 

furcatus), and flathead catfish 

(Pylodictis olivaris). In lieu of volitional 

fish passage facilities, Constellation 

Energy Generation would provide trap 

and truck passage from Conowingo 

Dam. Any migratory fish would be 

collected below Conowingo Dam and 

sorted to remove invasive species before 

releasing native species upstream of the 

projects. As the fish passage facilities 

would not be used at Holtwood Dam, 

BIF III Holtwood, LLC is also proposing 

to postpone a radio telemetry study for 

one year. The study is intended to 

assess upstream fish passage efficiency.
