Notice of Application for Amendment of License and Soliciting 
Comments, Motions To Intervene, and Protests

November 18, 2005.
    Take notice that the following application has been filed with the 
Commission and is available for public inspection:
    a. Application Type: Amendment of License.
    b. Project No.: 12379-005.
    c. Date Filed: August 26, 2005.
    d. Applicant: Lake Dorothy Hydro, Inc., Alaska.
    e. Name of Project: Lake Dorothy Hydroelectric Project.
    f. Location: The project is located on Dorothy Creek, near Juneau, 
Alaska.
    g. Filed Pursuant to: Federal Power Act, 16 U.S.C. 791a-825r.
    h. Applicant Contact: Corry V. Hildebrand, Lake Dorothy Hydro Inc., 
5601 Tonsgard Court, Juneau, AK 99801-7201.
    i. FERC Contact: Any questions on this notice should be addressed

eric.gross@ferc.gov.

    j. Deadline for filing comments and or motions: December 19, 2005.
    k. Description of Request: In their August 26, 2005 filing, Lake 
Dorothy Hydro, Inc. (licensee) proposes to amend the license for the 
Lake Dorothy Hydroelectric Project to replace the proposed lake tap at 
Bart Lake with a rock fill diversion dam and outlet works. According to 
the licensee the geology of Bart Lake will not support the lake tap and 
that the natural debris dam that contains the lake is subject to 
periodic failure and cannot be relied upon for constant lake levels. In 
a supplemental October 21, 2005, filing the licensee also proposes to 
relocate the powerhouse and the substation. The license calls for the 
powerhouse and substation to be built on a beach fill site. According 
to the licensee, a geotechnical investigation determined that the beach 
fill site would not be stable in an earthquake, so the licensee 
proposes relocating the structures to separate rock benches upstream of 
the beach fill site. The licensee states that there will be no 
additional environmental impacts due to these revisions, and that the 
project operation would be unchanged.
    l. Locations of Applications: A copy of the application is 
available for inspection and reproduction at the Commission in the 
Public Reference Room, located at 888 First Street, NE., Room 2A,
