    The Commission's Rules of Practice require all intervenors filing 
documents with the Commission to serve a copy of that document on each 
person 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.
    Motions to intervene and protests may be filed electronically via 
the Internet in lieu of paper. The Commission strongly encourages 
electronic filings. See 18 CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the instructions

    l. The existing Forest City Project comprises an earth embankment 
dam containing a gated timber spillway and two impoundments (East Grand 
and North Lakes). There are no generating facilities located at the 
project. Approximately one-quarter of the 544-foot-long dam (i.e., 
approximately 147 feet) is within the United States, the remaining 
section of the dam is located in Canada. The United States (western) 
section of the dam is an earth embankment measuring approximately 110-
feet-long with a maximum height of 12 feet. The center section of the 
dam (i.e., that portion located in the river channel) contains a 55-
foot-wide gated timber crib spillway structure with three wooden gates 
(gates 1 and 2 are located within the United States). The spillway is 
approximately 33 feet wide with an elevation of 426.61 feet msl. A 5-
foot-wide vertical slot design fishway is located in Canada. The 
eastern (Canadian) embankment is an earth structure approximately 397-
feet-long, 30-feet-long with a crest elevation of 437.27 feet msl. No 
new construction is proposed.
