    k. Description of Request: Indiana Michigan Power Company 
(licensee) is requesting Commission approval of a non-project use of 
project lands and water application for the purposes of permitting the 
St. Joseph County Surveyor (proponent) to undergo maintenance dredging 
of an existing channel (Woodward Ditch) within the Project boundary to 
remove approximately 3,883 cubic yards of accumulated sediment by 
hydraulic dredge. The original channel bottom will not be disturbed. 
The licensee is planning to dispose of the spoil in an upland manmade 
body of surface water created by excavating (agricultural irrigation 
pond) which was determined by U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to not be a 
jurisdictional water. The proposed dredging area is inside the project 
boundary, but the disposal area is outside of the project boundary.
