                    k.                     *Description of Request:*                     The licensee is requesting to suspend the Article 404 requirement to continuously release 5 cubic feet per second (cfs) into the bypassed reach of Power Creek in order to study accretion flow, the environmental effects to fish, and to potentially develop a proposal to permanently suspend the requirements of Article 404 in order to generate additional power at a reduced cost with less emissions compared to the alternative of diesel power generation during the low flow period. The licensee states that preliminary studies have indicated that the bypassed reach has an average accretion flow 20 cfs during low flow periods with a minimum measured flow of 7.79 cfs in March as measured just upstream of the powerhouse. Therefore, the licensee's request is not expected to dewater the bypass reach, as it should still receive the intended 5 cfs from accretion flow.                

                    l.                     *Locations of the Application:*                     A copy of the application is available for inspection and reproduction at the Commission's Public Reference Room, located at 888 First Street, NE., Room 2A, Washington, DC 20426, or by calling 202-502-8371.
