402 also requires Erie to operate the 

Sewalls Development in a run-of-river 

mode from May 1 through September 

30, when inflow is below 2,000 cfs, such 

that outflow approximates inflow to the 

impoundment at any given point in 

time. Article 404 requires a minimum 

flow of 1,000 cfs or inflow, whichever 

is less, downstream of each 

development. 

Article 403 requires Erie to install 

flashboards at each development by 

May 1 or as soon thereafter as safely 

possible, and remove the flashboards in 

the fall prior to ice conditions. Article 

410 requires Erie to install trashrack 

overlays with 1-inch clear bar spacing at 

the top half portion of the trashracks of 

each development, except the Sewalls 

Development, from May 1 through 

October 1. 

To protect aquatic habitat in the 

bypassed reaches and provide 

downstream fish passage, Article 405 

requires Erie to release the following 

minimum flows: (1) for the Herrings 

Development, 20 cfs through the 9-footlong stoplog gate adjacent to the 

trashracks; (2) for the Deferiet 

Development: (a) 45 cfs through the ice 

chute; and (b) the following flows from 

the spillway and leakage at the dam: 800 

cfs during walleye spawning season and 

245 cfs for the remainder of the year; (3) 

for the Kamargo Development, 120 cfs 

through the notch in the spillway; (4) 

for the Black River Development: (a) 80 

cfs through the notch in the flashboards; 

and (b) 300 cfs from the notch and 

stoplog gate during walleye spawning 

season; and (5) for the Sewalls 

Development: (a) 137 cfs of leakage ‘‘or 

other mechanisms’’ to the south channel 

bypassed reach; and (b) 32 cfs to the 

north channel bypassed reach that 

includes 20 cfs through the notch in the 

spillway and 12 cfs of leakage ‘‘or other 

mechanisms.’’ 

The current license also requires the 

implementation of a Flow Monitoring 

Plan to ensure compliance with the 

project flow requirements and a Record 

Keeping Plan to maintain records of the 

impoundment elevations and discharges 

at each of the five developments, in 

compliance with Articles 408 and 409. 

Article 413 requires the 

implementation of a Recreation Plan 

that requires operation and maintenance 

of the project recreation facilities. 

Article 416 requires the implementation 

of a Cultural Resources Management 

Plan to protect historic properties. 

Article 415 requires Erie to maintain the 

existing woodland buffer areas along the 

five developments’ shorelines and 

provide buffers along the access road 

and parking area at the Deferiet 

Development. 

Erie is not proposing to add any new 

project facilities. However, Erie 

proposes to revise the project boundary 

around the impoundments to follow the 

normal maximum impoundment 

elevations and add/remove land that is 

occupied by or adjacent to project 

facilities, which would result in a net 

decrease of land and water in the project 

boundary from 773 acres under the 

current license to 763.7 acres under the 

proposed license. 

Erie proposes to continue operating 

the project as required under the current 

license. Erie proposes to update the 

Recreation Plan and Streamflow and 

Headpond Monitoring Plan. In addition, 

Erie proposes to develop a minimum 

flow fish conveyance plan and a historic 

properties management plan. Erie also 

proposes to: (1) develop the trail to the 

impoundment fishing access area at the 

Herrings Development; (2) enhance the 

staircase at the hand-carry boat put-in 

site at the Deferiet Development, to 

improve access for whitewater boaters; 

and (3) notify the public, via an online 

platform, of bypassed reach flows and 

safety information for the Deferiet 

Development.
