k. Description of Request: Ampersand Cranberry Lake Hydro
(Ampersand) proposes surrendering its license for the non-operating
project. The project dam and other project facilities are owned by the
Oswegatchie River-Cranberry Regulating District (Regulating District),
a local governmental entity. Ampersand lost its lease to the project,
along with all rights and access to the project. Ampersand is not
proposing any ground disturbing activities as part of the surrender.
Ampersand proposes to adopt the Regulating District's plan to, at the
Regulating District's own expense, remove the project's fuse plug
spillway, complete all needed repairs of the dam, remove the generating
and appurtenant equipment from the powerhouse, and secure the project
site. If the Commission approves the surrender and the surrender
becomes effective, Commission jurisdiction will end over the project
and the project and dam will transition to the jurisdiction of New York
State Department of Environmental Conservation.
