    The Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure require all

that document on each person whose name appears on the official service

    k. Description of Request: The licensee requests Commission 
approval to grant the Joint Municipal Water and Sewer Commission 
(JMWSC) permission to use project lands and water within the project 
boundary on Lake Murray for the construction and operation of a 
component of a raw water intake facility (facility) to provide public 
drinking water. The component of the facility proposed to be 
constructed within the project boundary is a single screened 84' intake 
pipe that would extend from the shoreline of Lake Murray into Lake 
Murray itself. The remaining components of the facility would be 
constructed outside of the project boundary. Once constructed and 
operational, the facility would initially withdraw 10 million gallons 
per day (MGD) from Lake Murray. Subsequently, JMWSC would increase 
withdrawals made by the facility in 10 MGD increments over time, as 
needed, up to a maximum of 50 MGD, as water demands dictate.
