that document on each person in the official service list for the
project. Further, if an intervener files comments or documents with the
Commission relating to the merits of an issue that may affect the
responsibilities of a particular resource agency, they must also serve
a copy of the document on that resource agency.
k. Description of Application: The licensee is requesting to amend
the minimum flow requirement under article 38 for the June 1 through
October 31 period. During this period, the downstream dissolved oxygen
(DO) level would be monitored daily if the flow falls below 1900 cubic-
feet-per-second (cfs), and the following actions would be taken: if DO
falls below 5 mg/l and river flow is below 1500 cfs, all flows will be
directed over the flashboards/spillway/tainter gates; if DO falls below
5 mg/l and river flow is between 1500 cfs and 1900 cfs, all but 700 cfs
will be directed over the flashboards/spillway/tainter gates; for flows
in excess of 1900 cfs, a minimum flow of 300 cfs will be directed over
the flashboards/spillway/tainter gates; if DO is above 5 mg/l and river
flow is less than 1900 cfs, a minimum flow of 300 cfs will be directed
over the flashboards/spillway/tainter gates. The licensee is proposing
to amend the license to incorporate the above minimum flow regime,
including daily testing of DO in a manner consistent with that
undertaken over the past four years. The licensee's proposed flow
[[Page 72665]]
regime is per a revised Water Quality Certificate issued on August 30,
2002.
