    k. Description of Project: West Penn Power Company, licensee for 
the Lake Lynn Project, FERC No. 2459, has filed a request to amend the 
project's recreation plan. The recreation plan, previously approved by 
the Commission on April 11, 1997, included a provision for a 4.5-mile-
long, 12-foot-wide hiking/biking trail between the project powerhouse 
and Cheat Haven Peninsula. The amendment application requests 
Commission approval to narrow the width of the trail from 12 to 4 feet 
for the section of trail between Manning's Run and the peninsula (3.1 
miles). With the reduction in width, the amendment application further 
proposes to remove the ``biking'' designation from the 3.1 miles of 
trail between Manning's Run and the Cheat Haven Peninsula.
    In addition to the above, the amendment application indicates the 
licensee has offered to provide $175,000 in funding, to the West 
Virginia Department of Natural Resources, for improvements to a hiking 
trail in the Snake Hill Wildlife Management Area. This proposal is 
intended to provide more shoreline access to project waters.
