    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, it 
must also serve a copy of the document on that resource agency.
    k. Description of Request: Wisconsin Public Service Corporation 
(licensee) requests approval of its filed Reservoir Drawdown Plan, 
which would allow the licensee to lower the reservoir in order to 
repair damaged flashboards on the overflow spillway. The licensee 
proposes to draw down the reservoir to a target elevation of 661.45 
feet, which is 3 feet below the required minimum reservoir water 
surface elevation. The licensee would begin the drawdown on or before 
September 7, 2021, and return the reservoir to its normal operating 
elevation the week of October 4, 2021. The minimum flow requirement 
under Article 402 of the license would be maintained during the 
drawdown period; however, the run-of-river operation and reservoir 
water surface elevation requirements under Article 401 would be 
temporarily modified during the drawdown period.
