    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.
    k. Description of Request: The River Falls Hydroelectrict Project 
consists of the Junction Falls and Powell Falls developments. The 
applicant seeks approval to decommission and remove the Powell Falls 
development from the project license, keeping the facilities in place. 
As background, a flood damaged the Powell Falls development right 
training wall, as well as other project-related generating equipment in 
June 2020. This event necessitated a drawdown of the impoundment (Lake 
Louise) to investigate the extent of damage. Rather than refill the 
impoundment and restore generation, the applicant now proposes to 
remove the development from the project license.
