    k. Description of Transfer: Pyrites Associates is a general 
partnership organized under the laws of the state of New York, 
consisting of the general partners Hydro Development Group, Inc. 
(Hydro), and Hydra-Co Enterprises, Inc. (Hydra). The application states 
that the proposed transfer will result from CHI-Dexter, Inc., a 
Delaware corporation, purchasing the remaining interest of Hydra as a 
general partner in Pyrites Associates. Under the purchase transaction, 
Hydra will cease to be a general partner and CHI-Dexter will become a 
general partner in the partnership entity that will continue to operate 
under the name Pyrite Associates. The application states that the 
purchase transaction will arguably cause a technical dissolution of 
Pyrites Associates under Section 60 of New York's Partnership Law.
    The applicant states that operation of the project will not change 
as a result of the proposed transfer and the current operator, Hydro, 
will continue as operator.
