    k. Description of Application: Article 401 currently requires the 
licensee to operate both project developments, Byllesby and Buck, 
within certain reservoir surface elevations. The licensee is planning 
maintenance work for the Byllesby development that would require 
operating between elevations 2070.0 feet and 2071.0 feet NGVD, 
approximately eight feet below the reservoir surface elevations allowed 
under article 401, for 60 days. The proposed work is intended to begin 
July 9, 2001 and September 7, 2001. The licensee filed an Applicant 
Prepared Environmental Assessment with this filing, which concludes 
that the proposed temporary lowering of the reservoir should have no 
significant impacts on environmental resources.
