elevation of 7,276.6 feet during the recreation season (July 1 through 
August 31) and a minimum reservoir elevation of 7,232.6 feet during the 
remainder of the year. The licensee requests a variance to allow 
Florence Lake to be drawn down below elevation 7,276.6 feet during the 
entire 2017 recreation season, to facilitate the installation of a 
geomembrane liner on the bottom half of the upstream face of Florence

dam, excavate sediment where necessary, and seal the bottom of the 
membrane liner. The licensee states that a variance from the non-

lake will be maintained at or above 7,232.6 feet for the remainder of 
the year. The licensee has consulted with the resource agencies and the 
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers regarding this proposal.
