    k. Description of Amendment: Grant County Public Utility District 
No. 2 (Licensee) requests authorization to modify and test an 
attraction flow prototype designed to facilitate downstream fish 
passage at the Wanapum Development. Currently, the prototype consists 
of a rectangular steel channel placed in the forebay and attached to 
the dam in front of Units 7, 8, 9 and a portion of Unit 10. The 
licensee wishes to extend the channel another 300 feet in front of 
Units 4, 5, and 6. The licensee also proposes to construct an overflow 
gate at spillway 12 for the development of a method of passing fish 
through the spillway that more effectively uses water. The overflow 
gate would be a bulkhead type steel structure approximately 57 feet 
wide by 79 feet tall. Finally, the licensee wishes to construct a 
deflector at spillway 2 for the development of such a device to reduce 
the level of dissolved gasses in the spilled water. The deflector would 
consist of a triangular structural steel section with concrete ballast, 
32 feet below the spillway crest. The deflector's horizontal surface 
would be approximately 12 feet and would run the full width of the 
spillway slot, approximately 50 feet.
    1. This notice also consists of the following standard paragraphs: 
B, C1, and D2.
    B. Comments, Protests, or Motions to Intervene--Anyone may submit
