k. Description of Request: Indiana

Michigan Power Company (I&M) is

requesting the Commission’s approval

to fill an existing channel located within

the project boundary. The channel

forms an island, and provides access to

the St. Joseph River to four property

owners. Accumulation of sediments has

allowed for wetland type vegetation to

grow on the channel surface.

Additionally, accumulation of debris

and other materials in the channel area

have caused some health concerns

among the City officials. To

permanently solve this problem, I&M is

proposing to fill the channel area, so as

to connect the island with properties

across the channel. I&M is proposing to

remove the filled channel and island

from the project boundary, and to

replace the wetland area, that would be

lost by channel filling, to another

location within the project boundary.

The channel and the island are both

owned by the licensee.
