Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426. Comments, protests, and 
interventions may be filed electronically via the Internet in lieu of

    Please include the project number (P-2579-040) on any comments or 
motions filed.
    k. Description of Request: Indiana Michigan Power Company (I&M) is 
requesting the Commission's approval to fill an existing channel 
located within the project boundary. The channel forms an island, and 
provides access to the St. Joseph River to four property owners. 
Accumulation of sediments has allowed for wetland type vegetation to 
grow on the channel surface. Additionally, accumulation of debris and 
other materials in the channel area have caused some health concerns 
among the City officials. To permanently solve this problem, I&M is 
proposing to fill the channel area, so as to connect the island with 
properties across the channel. I&M is proposing to remove the filled 
channel and island from the project boundary, and to replace the 
wetland area, that would be lost by channel filling, to another 
location within the project boundary. The channel and the island are 
both owned by the licensee.
    l. Locations of the Application: A copy of the application is 
available for inspection and reproduction at the Commission's Public
