k. Description of Project: Connecticut Light and Power Company,

proposed change in land rights involving Candlewood Lake, a reservoir
within the project's Rocky River Development. Specifically, the
licensee proposes to enter into an agreement with the five
municipalities that surround Candlewood Lake (Brookfield, Danbury, New
Fairfield, New Milford, and Sherman) that would grant the
municipalities a conservation restriction at Candlewood Lake. The
conservation restriction will enable the municipalities to ensure that
Candlewood Lake remains a lake consistent with its recreational and
environmental values in the event of a future termination of the
Commission's jurisdiction over the project. The conservation
restriction contains specific requirements related to the water level
and use of the lake. The licensee states the proposed conservation
restriction is subject to and subordinate to the project license; is in
the public interest; and will preserve the scenic, recreational, and
environmental values of Candlewood Lake while at the same time allowing
the licensee to use if for hydroelectric operations.
