k. Description of Filing: On November 16, 1998, the Commission
issued a Notice of Amendment of Exemption for the Postdam Water Power
Project, FERC No. 2869. The Notice described the filing by stating that
the exemptee is proposing to add a new powerhouse at the site. The
existing project consists of the East Dam and West Dam separated by an
island, a 300-acre reservoir, and an 800-kW powerhouse at the East Dam.
The proposed powerhouse would consist of an intake and powerhouse at
the West Dam with a capacity of 700 kW.
On January 4, 1999, the exemptee filed additional information that
included a discussion of comments received from the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife and the New York State Department of Environmental
Conservation. To alleviate the concerns of those agencies about changes
in the pond level, the exemptee is proposing to install a small
inflatable rubber dam on top of the crest of the spillway. The rubber
dam would be about 9-inch-high when inflated. The purpose of the rubber
dam would be to maintain approximately the same impoundment level that
currently exists, during the operation of the proposed powerhouse.
l. Locations of the application: A copy of the application is
available for inspection and reproduction at the Commission's Public
Reference Room, located at 888 First Street, NE, Room 2A, Washington,
