    k. Description of Filing: Vernon F. Ravenscroft filed an 
application for amendment of exemption to increase the height of the 
project's penstock intake structure by two feet to help prevent ice 
build-up near the intake. The exemptee also proposes to increase the 
height of the project's spillway by six inches to increase the 
operating water surface level in the project's canal and stabilize 
river bypass flows during low flows. The exemptee states the increased 
spillway height will not affect high water levels at the upstream 
diversion dam. The higher water levels in the canal will affect lands 
owned or leased by the exemptee and lands on a right-of-way obtained 
from the U.S. Bureau of Land Management.
