For assistance, please contact FERC Online Support at FERCOnlineSupport@ferc.gov, (866) 208-3676 (toll free), or (202) 502-8659 (TTY). In lieu of electronic filing, you may submit a paper copy. Submissions sent via the U.S. Postal Service must be addressed to: Debbie-Anne A. Reese, Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street NE, Room 1A, Washington, DC 20426. Submissions sent via any other carrier must be addressed to: Debbie-Anne A. Reese, Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 12225 Wilkins Avenue, Rockville, MD 20852. The first page of any filing should include the docket number P-10482-162. Comments emailed to Commission staff are not considered part of the Commission record.

The Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure require all 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 must also serve a copy of the document on that resource agency.

l. Description of Request: The licensee proposes to temporarily amend the minimum flow requirements at the Swinging Bridge Development to accommodate maintenance work on generating unit no. 2, which will temporarily disable the project's normal flow-release operations. The project's minimum flow requirement is 100 cubic feet per second (cfs), or inflow, whichever is less, but no less than 60 cfs. With the proposed modification to operations at the development, the minimum flow would be decreased to 50 cfs, or inflow if less, and not to exceed 60 calendar days from approximately December 19, 2026, to January 30, 2027. The licensee may shift the 60 days based on Commission authorization, field conditions and work progress. The licensee states that reassembly of generating unit no. 2 requires closure of a shared headgate with generating unit no. 3. Closure of the headgate will make generating unit no. 3 unavailable to provide the required minimum flows, and during this period the project will rely solely on the reservoir-fed siphon system which is designed to provide between 50-60 cfs.
