    k. Description of Proposal: The applicant proposes to construct and

reduce the extent to which the spill will increase downstream total 
dissolved gas levels. The prototype flow deflector would consist of two 
parts, a sloping toe radius and a triangular concrete section located 
at elevation 483.0 msl. The toe radius would be 15 feet in length, the 
deflector's horizontal surface would be 7 feet in length. The deflector 
would run the full width of the spillway slot, approximately 50 feet. 
The applicant has scheduled construction of the prototype for September 
1999, followed by a biological performance evaluation in October 1999.
