    The Commission's Rules of Practice require all intervenors filing 
documents with the Commission to serve a copy of that document on each 
person 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 delete Article 
305 and Article 406 from its license, and to modify Article 407, 
relating to the construction and operation of the Canyon Creek 
Diversion to supply back-up water to the Tacoma powerhouse. Previously 
in an order issued November 15, 2012, Commission staff required the 
applicant, pursuant to Article 305 of its license, to instead construct 
and operate a flow line from Electra Lake to supply back-up water to 
the Tacoma powerhouse. Upon further evaluation, the applicant has 
determined that the need for a back-up water supply is no longer 
necessary at this time. As such, the applicant proposes to delete 
Articles 305 and 406, and modify Article 407, all associated with the 
construction and operation of the Canyon Creek Diversion or the 
alternative flow line.
