k. Description of Request: The licensee requests a temporary
variance of the maximum flow diversion requirements in Cascade Creek.
U.S. Forest Service Section 4(e) Condition No. 17 (found in the project
license) limits diversions to the flowline of no greater than 2 cubic
feet per second (cfs), when natural inflow is less than 9 cfs. However,
the licensee requests that it be allowed to divert 4 cfs into the
flowline from December 15, 2014 to April 15, 2015. The licensee states
that the increased diversion is necessary to keep a temporary, above-
ground flowline from freezing while it performs repairs to a damaged
section of flowline during the winter.

available for inspection and reproduction at the Commission's Public
Reference Room, located at 888 First Street NE., Room 2A, Washington,
