Text: On July 7, 1989, a hearing was held on all of CNCA's proposed amendments and relocation petitions. The director's order of September 22, 1989, concludes: By now officially proposing to move its diversion location from upstream of the J-2 hydropower return to downstream of it, [CNCA] effectively requests a location where a much larger quantity of water is available from the Platte River than was available under terms of its approved applications. Although [CNCA] contends it always intended to capture and utilize J-2 return flows, the location of its approved diversion location is upstream of the J-2 return. Accordingly, the director denied CNCA's proposed amendments and relocation petitions; set aside the department's May 15, 1979, approvals of original applications A-14137, A-14138A, A-14138B, and A-14139; and set a date to show cause why these four applications should not be dismissed because they no longer reflected the project originally proposed.
