    The Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure require all

project. No significant modifications to the existing dams, buildings,

the gates to the gatehouse except for the 2-foot by 2-foot fill gate to 
provide Aclara Meters' processing water (approximately 0.04-0.05 cubic 
feet per second) into the canal. All other flow would continue to be 
spilled over the spillway or through the bypass gate in the canal. The 
project has been inoperable since 2011 due to a penstock failure.
