j. Description of Proposal: The

applicant (Xcel Energy) requests an

amendment to article 408 of the license

for the Chippewa Falls Hydroelectric

Project. Article 408, in part, requires a

study of full-depth trashracks, or an

alternative enhancement measure, and a

determination of residual fish losses as

a result of turbine-induced mortality,

and a schedule for either minimization

or compensation for mortality losses.

The applicant proposes that it should,

instead, deposit a one-time sum of

$250,000 into a Fish Protection Fund so

that protective measures can be

installed at the project if technological

advances yield a practicable and

effective alternative. If feasible

alternatives are not found, the money

would be used for fish habitat

enhancements. This proposal has been

negotiated as part of the Lower

Chippewa River Settlement Agreement,

which was filed with the Commission

on February 1, 2001. The settlement

agreement was crafted by a group of

stakeholders in the Lower Chippewa

River Basin, including the applicant,

local municipalities, federal and state

resource agencies, and nongovernmental organizations.
