k. Description of Request: Great Lakes Hydro America, LLC requests
Commission approval of amendment of Article 408 to eliminate the water
level management requirements in the North Twin impoundment for lake
trout spawning/incubation. The propagation of wild lake trout has not
been successful after several years of controlling the reservoir levels
in compliance with Article 408. Removal of reservoir level requirements
for lake trout would provide more flexibility in providing power and
non-power benefits at the development including the maintenance of
higher flows to benefit the tailwater fishery. Great Lakes Hydro
America, LLC proposes to request a modification to its Water Quality
Certificate from the Maine Department of Environment Protection.
