    k. Description of Request: The exemptee is proposing that the

refurbished units. The current Flygt unit has a nameplate capacity of

be Leffel type B and Leffel type F. The Leffel type B will have a

maximum of 230 cfs. Combined, the two proposed units will have the same 
nameplate capacity (265 kW) and maximum hydraulic capacity (330 cfs) as 
the current unit. The exemptee states the proposed units will allow a 
greater operating range and will eliminate wide fluctuations in 
upstream water levels. The exemptee has consulted and received
