All documents (original and eight copies) should be filed with:
Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE.,
Washington, DC 20426.
The Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure require all
interveners filing documents with the Commission to serve a copy of
that document on each person whose name appears on the official service
list for the project. Further, if an intervener files comments or
documents with the Commission relating to the merits of an issue that
may affect the responsibilities of a particular resource agency, they
must also serve a copy of the document on that resource agency. A copy
of any motion to intervene must also be served upon each representative
of the Applicant specified in the particular application.
k. Description of Proposed Amendment: Virginia Electric and Power
Company proposes to place fencing to restrict public access to the most
turbulent waters of the Roanoke Rapids powerhouse tailrace. This
measure, for public safety, would move the delineated tailrace bank
fishing area about 600 feet east along the tailrace canal. Anglers
would continue to have access to the remaining 8,000 linear feet of the
tailrace canal. Also, at the request of the City of Roanoke Rapids, the
licensee would make improvements to the eastern trail access to the
tailrace canal by either constructing footbridges over two small
tributaries, where culvert pipes have washed out, or replacing the
culvert pipes.
