    i. FERC Contact: Thomas LoVullo (202) 219-1168.

    k. Description of Amendment: Carl and Elaine Hitchcock (exemptee) 
proposed to have a continuous release over the spillway at the Eau 
Galle Dam from April 1 to November 15 with no release during the 
remaining period (November 16 through March 31). The exemptee stated 
that the purpose of not releasing any water over the spillway during 
the winter months is to prevent the deterioration of the downstream 
concrete buttresses due to the freezing and thawing of spilled water.
    The crest of the dam is 757.0 feet mean sea level (MSL). The 
exemptee proposed to operate the hydroelectric project, from November 
16 through March 31, at a reservoir water surface elevation no lower 
than 756.6 feet MSL (or approximately five inches below the crest of 
the spillway).
