Boyle, Copco No. 1, Copco No. 2, and Iron Gate developments from the license and create a new project, the Lower Klamath Project No. 14803, for those developments. The applicants also request the Lower Klamath Project be transferred to the Renewal Corporation which, if the Commission were to approve its surrender application in a separate proceeding, would then surrender the project license and remove the above four developments.

If the Modoc Tribe decides to disclose information about a specific location which could create a risk or harm to an archaeological site or Native American cultural resource, the public will be excused for that portion of the meeting when such information is disclosed. The teleconference meeting will be transcribed by a court reporter and the transcript will be placed in the public record of these proceedings. Please call or email Jennifer Polardino at [phone] or [e-mail] by Monday, January 29, 2018, to RSVP and to receive the teleconference call-in information.
