    The Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure require all 
intervenors 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 intervenor 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.
    k. Description of Request: The applicant proposes to surrender its 
license for the project. The project has not operated since 2018 and 
Walton County Water and Sewerage Authority's proposed water intake to 
be located just upstream of the project would affect continued project 
operation. No ground disturbance is proposed and project features would 
remain in place. The applicant would retain ownership of the dam. To 
decommission project facilities, the applicant proposes to close the 
canal intake gates and disconnect the project generators, leaving the 
generating equipment in place. The powerhouse would remain secured with 
the existing fencing and security system. The current license expires 
on August 30, 2021.
