    k. Description of the Application: The Public Utility District No. 
1 of Chelan County, Washington, licensee of the Rock Island 
Hydroelectric Project, has filed an application seeking authorization 
from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to remove 1.01 acres of 
land from Wenatchee Riverfront Park, and the hydroelectric project. The 
land would be conveyed to the City of Wenatchee (City). Also, the 
licensee proposes to add 0.87 acre of land to the park, and the 
project. This land exchange, which has been coordinated with the City, 
would accommodate a roadway corridor modification, consistent with the 
City's plans for improving riverfront access for the public. This 
modification would entail adding approximately 55 parking spaces and 
170 linear feet of trails and walkways. In addition, the licensee 
proposes to remove from the project a 0.47 acre parcel of land that was 
discovered to be mistakenly included within the project boundary. The 
City is the fee-title owner of the parcel. It abuts the City's old 
water works building.

available for inspection and reproduction at the Commission's Public
