The Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure require all
intervenors filing documents with the Commission to serve a copy of
that document on each person whose name appears on the official service
list for the project. Further, if an intervenor 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 Request: Exelon Generating Company, LLC is
requesting Commission approval to authorize the Maryland Environmental
Service (applicant) to implement a dredging pilot project approximately
5 miles upstream from the Conowingo Dam. The applicant proposes to
mobilize the dredging barge at Dorsey Park Boat Launch, mechanically
dredge 1,000 cubic yards of sediment from project waters, stockpile the
stored sediment at Peach Bottom Road Boat Launch, then transport dried
material outside the project boundary for beneficial use within the
state of Maryland. The dredging pilot project would result in limited
availability of the Dorsey Park Boat Launch to half capacity for 3
weeks and closure of the Peach Bottom Road Boat Launch for up to two
months. The proposed dredging pilot project would occur outside the
recreational boating season.
