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

k. Description of Request: The applicant proposes to surrender its
license for the project. The project has not operated since 2018 and

remain in place. The applicant would retain ownership of the dam. To

canal intake gates and disconnect the project generators, leaving the
generating equipment in place. The powerhouse would remain secured with
the existing fencing and security system. The current license expires
on August 30, 2021.
