reservoir elevation requirement.
    b. Project No.: 9074-051.
    c. Date Filed: June 18, 2007.
    d. Applicant: Warrensburg Hydro Power Limited Partnership.
    e. Name of Project: Warrensburg Hydroelectric Project.
    f. Location: Schroon River, in Warren County, New York.
    g. Filed Pursuant to: Federal Power Act, 16 U.S.C. 791a-825r.
    h. Applicant Contact: Daniel McCarty, Boralex Hydro Operations, 
Inc., 39 Hudson Falls Road, South Glens Falls, New York 12803, (518) 
747-0930.
    i. FERC Contact: Thomas LoVullo at (202) 502-8900, or 
thomas.lovullo@ferc.gov.

    j. Deadline for filing comments, motions to intervene and protests: 
July 16, 2007.
    All documents (original and eight copies) should be filed with: 
Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., 
Washington, DC 20426. Please include the project number (P-9074) on any 
comments or motions filed.
    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, they 
must also serve a copy of the document on that resource agency. A copy 
of any motion to intervene must also be served upon each representative 
of the Applicant specified in the particular application.
    k. Description of Request: Warrensburg Hydro Power Limited 
Partnership (licensee) is requesting a temporary variance of the 
reservoir elevation requirement stipulated in the Warrensburg 
Hydroelectric Project license to complete maintenance work. The south 
abutment or berm wall area of the project exhibits leakage that began 
shortly after the completion of the project in 1988. Based on continual 
leakage monitoring programs, numerous leakage mitigation measures have 
taken place over the years. The mitigation measures appear to have 
managed or controlled the situation; however, undesirable leakage 
continues. Based on the findings of two independent engineering 
assessments, the integrity of the south berm wall is not believed to be 
compromised in its current condition. Nevertheless, based on 
recommendations, the licensee would like to proceed in implementing a 
plan (begun in 2005) to correct the leakage situation. The work 
activities would require the reservoir to be drawn down as similarly 
done in 2005 and 2006. The proposed schedule indicates the draw down to 
commence on July 31 and the construction work to occur over a four to 
six week period.
    l. Location of the Application: The filing is available for 
inspection and reproduction at the Commission's Public Reference Room, 
located at 888 First Street, NE., Room 2A, Washington, DC 20426 or by

    q. Comments, protests and interventions may be filed electronically 
via the Internet in lieu of paper. See, 18 CFR 385.2001(a)(I)(iii) and
