Commission strongly encourages electronic filing. Please file motions 
to intervene, protests and comments using the Commission's eFiling

registration, using the eComment system at http://www.ferc.gov/docs-filing/ecomment.asp. You must include your name and contact information 
at the end of your comments. For assistance, please contact FERC Online 
Support at [email protected], (866) 208-3676 (toll free), or 
(202) 502-8659 (TTY). In lieu of electronic filing, please send a paper 
copy to: Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First 
Street NE, Washington, DC 20426. The first page of any filing should 
include docket number P-11834-068.
    k. Description of Project Facilities: The project includes two 
developments: Upper Dam, which impounds Mooselookmeguntic Lake, and 
Middle Dam, which impounds Richardson Lake. The two dams operate as a 
single water storage project to regulate flows to the Androscoggin 
River for downstream hydroelectric generation, reduction of flood 
flows, and other beneficial uses. The proposed work would only occur at 
Middle Dam. Project works at the Middle Dam Development consist of the 
244-foot-long Middle Dam equipped with a gatehouse containing: (a) 
Three 15-foot-wide by 12-foot-deep sluice gates: (b) five 6-foot-wide 
by 14.7-foot-deep gates; (c) six 7-foot-wide 14.7-foot-deep shoal 
gates; and (d) six 9-foot-wide by 12.3-foot deep spillway gates; a 560-
foot-long earthen dike extending north of the gatehouse; a 200-foot-
long earthen dike extending south of the gatehouse; the 7,470 acre 
reservoir; the 180-foot-long earthen dike (Black Cat Dike) located 
2,000 feet to the southeast of Middle Dam; and appurtenant facilities.
    l. Description of Request: The licensee has filed a copy of its 
application with the Maine Land Use Planning Commission and the US Army 
Corps of Engineers for its proposed replacement of the spillway at the 
Middle Dam Development. Replacement of the Middle Dam Development 
spillway is being required under Part 12 of the Commission's 
regulations for safety of water power projects and project works. The 
proposal involves a multi-year, phased approach beginning with the 
installation of a bypass gate to pass all river flow during the removal 
of the existing dam and installation of the new dam. Black Cat Dike 
embankment would also be modified to meet Commission requirements. The 
proposed measures would not alter the basic footprint of the existing 
dam or involve substantial modification of the licensed operation of 
the project. Work is proposed to begin in May 2019 and be completed by 
December 15, 2023.
    m. This filing may be viewed on the Commission's website at http://www.ferc.gov/docs-filing/elibrary.asp. Enter the docket number
