Community, Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, and the U.S. 
Forest Service agreed to temporary modifications to the existing 
license requirements for articles 401 and 402 during the 2005 season. 
The licensee requests the following temporary modification to the 
reservoir elevation requirements in article 401: Change the June-
September End of the Month Target levels to 1295.9 feet mean sea level 
(msl) for the month of June (0.2 feet higher than current requirement); 
1295.7 feet msl for the month of July (same as current requirement); 
and 1295.5 feet msl for the period August-September (0.2 feet lower 
than current requirement). For article 402, the licensee proposes a 
change in the minimum flow trigger elevations to match the proposed 
target elevations: 1295.9 feet msl for the month of June (1295.4 in 
current license); 1295.7 feet msl for the month of July; and 1295.5 
feet msl for August 1 through September 14. When the Bergland 
Development elevation is greater than the trigger elevation during the 
period June through September 14, the minimum flow requirement for the 
Bergland Dam is 50 cubic feet per second (cfs). When the Bergland 
Development is at or below the trigger elevations during the period 
June through September 14, the minimum flow requirement for Bergland
