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 proposed amendment: The licensee proposes to modify the North Tower intake at the Dam No. 2 Development of the Portland Project. A multi-level intake structure would be added to the tower to allow for the selective withdrawal of water [[Page 2966]] from different reservoir elevations. The modifications are necessary to allow for better temperature management below Dam No. 2, as required by the Bull Run Water Supply Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP). Environmental impacts related to selective water withdrawal were already analyzed as part of the HCP. Neither the hydraulic capacity nor the installed capacity would change as a result of the modifications, and there would be no change in project operation or normal reservoir elevations. l.
