    k. Description of Project: The Forest City Project is located at 
river mile 58 of the East Branch of the St. Croix River on the 
international boundary between the United States and Canada. The 
existing project as licensed includes only the lands, waters, and 
structures that are located in the United States, which consist of: (a) 
A 147-foot-long section of the 540-foot-long, 12-foot-high earthen 
Forest City Dam that includes: (i) A 110-foot-long west earthen 
embankment, and (ii) a 37-foot-long section of the timber-crib spillway 
section with two 8.3-foot-wide, 10-foot-high spillway gates on the west 
side of the spillway, which control the impoundment between a minimum 
elevation of 427.94 feet mean sea level (msl) and a maximum elevation 
of 434.94 feet msl; (b) a 9,141-acre portion of the 17,040-acre multi-
lake impoundment (North Lake and East Grand Lake); and (c) appurtenant 
facilities. The project does not occupy federal lands and there are no 
generating facilities located at the project. The Forest City Project 
supplies water to the unlicensed downstream Grand Falls and Woodland 
hydroelectric projects.
    In November 2015, the Commission issued Woodland Pulp a new license 
to operate and maintain the Forest City Project. In December 2016, 
Woodland Pulp filed an application to surrender its new license and 
decommission the project by removing the gates located on the United 
States side of the spillway. The Commission is considering the 
licensee's surrender and decommissioning proceeding in Project No. 
2660-028.
    On July 24, 2017, Governor LePage of Maine signed into law a 
resolve authorizing Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife 
(Maine DIFW) to assume ownership of the Forest City Dam pursuant to two 
conditions: (1) The Commission finds that the Forest City Project will 
not require a license from the Commission if Maine DIFW owns the U.S. 
portion of the dam; and (2) Maine DIFW executes an agreement with 
Woodland Pulp that provides that Woodland Pulp and its successors will 
operate and maintain the Forest City Dam consistent with the manner in 
which the dam was operated in most recent 12 months, at the direction 
of the State, and at no cost to the State, for a period of 15 years. On 
July 27, 2017, Maine DIFW and Woodland Pulp executed an operation and 
management agreement.
    l. Description of Request: The licensee requests the Commission to 
find that the Forest City Project will not be necessary or appropriate 
for any downstream unit of development if the licensee transfers the 
dam to the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife, and will 
therefore no longer be required to be licensed pursuant to section 
23(b)(1) of the Federal Power Act.
    m. Locations of the Application: This filing may be viewed on the 
Commission's Web site at http://www.ferc.gov/docs-filing/elibrary.asp.
