Description of Request: The Skagit River Hydroelectric Project consists of Gorge, Diablo, and Ross Dams and their associated reservoirs, structures, and facilities. Seattle City Light proposes to remove approximately 18,000 cubic yards of a 2.2-acre cobble bar located at the upper end of Gorge Lake, at the confluence of the Skagit River and Stetattle Creek in Whatcom County, Washington, to restore power generating capacity to the Diablo Powerhouse and to provide maintenance access to the turbine scroll cases. Seattle City Light estimates that an additional 8,700 megawatt-hours per year could be generated if the cobble bar was removed. The proposed excavation site is located within the Ross Lake National Recreation Area which is administered by the National Park Service. The Recreation Area is surrounded by lands of the North Cascades National Park and the Mount Baker-Snoqualmie, Okanogan, and Wenatchee National Forests. l.
