As part of a hydro modernization program, the licensee is planning to replace several plant systems, including the turbines and generators, spillway gates, control system, and associated auxiliary equipment, at the Tugalo dam and powerhouse. Due to the rugged terrain and limited access in the area, the licensee would bring the heavy equipment and materials needed for the modernization work through the Yonah Lake and use the Tugalo Park area for construction staging. For safety and security reasons, the licensee is proposing to temporarily close the park to public access, starting October 1, 2021 for up to five years (October 2026). Following completion of the modernization work, the licensee would replace the existing recreation facilities (10 primitive campsites, restrooms, and a boat ramp). There are other nearby recreation sites and opportunities that would be available to the public during the time of the site closure.                

                    l.                     *Locations of the Application:*                     In addition to publishing the full text of this document in the                     **Federal Register**                    , the Commission provides all interested persons an opportunity to view and/or print the contents of this document via the internet through the Commission's Home Page (                    *http://www.ferc.gov*) using the “elibrary” link.
