    j. Deadline for Filing Comments and or Motions: May 6, 2005.
    All documents (original and eight copies) should be filed with Ms.

First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426. Please reference the following 
number, P-2310-146, on any comments or motions filed.
    k. Description of Proposal: Improvements to the existing cut-off 
wall around the outlet structure and along the south embankment at 
Lower Lindsey Lake Dam are necessary to reduce seepage. The work is 
required under part 12 of the Commission's regulations. Lower Lindsey 
Lake will be lowered to an elevation of 6490.0 feet to facilitate the 
work. Deviations from the target and allowable minimum flows required 
by article 39 below Middle and Lower Lindsey Lake Dams are necessary to 
ensure continued release of water to Lindsey Creek during and after 
construction. A target flow of 0.20 cubic feet per second (cfs) and an 
allowable minimum flow of 0.10 cfs are proposed to maintain flow in 
Lindsey Creek until the Spring of 2006. The improvement work will be 
performed from July though September 2005. Refilling of the lakes will 
begin after completion of the work and will take one year.
    l. Locations of the Application: A copy of the application is 
available for inspection and reproduction at the Commission's Public 
Reference Room, at 888 First Street, NE., Room 2A, Washington, DC 
20426, or by calling (202) 208-1371. The application may be viewed
