h. FERC Contact: Questions about this notice can be answered by
Steve Hocking at (202) 219-2656 or e-mail address:
steve.hocking@ferc.fed.us. The Commission cannot accept comments,
recommendations, motions to intervene or protests sent by e-mail; these
documents must be filed as described below.
i. Deadline for filing comments, recommendations, motions to
intervene and protests: November 3, 1999.
All documents (original and eight copies) should be filed with:
David P. Boergers, Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888
First Street, NE, Washington, DC 20426.
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.
j. Description of the Application: Wisconsin River Power Company
(Wisconsin Power) filed an application to sell 2,380 acres of project
lands to the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR) to expand
the existing Buckhorn State Park and Wildlife Area. Another 841 acres
of non-project lands would also be sold. Collectively, these lands are
known as the ``Yellow River Bottoms,'' a complex system of meandered
river channels and islands that provide excellent wildlife habitat and
recreational opportunities. The lands are on the Castle Rock Flowage,
south of Necedah in Juneau County, Wisconsin. Wisconsin Power does not
propose changing the project boundary. The lands to be sold would
remain project lands; Wisconsin Power would retain flowage easements.
Contained in Wisconsin Power's application is a request to delete
four existing recreation sites from its proposed recreation plan in its
application for a new license pending before the Commission. This
project is undergoing relicensing and Wisconsin Power requests deleting
the four sites because the sites are within the area to be sold, they
would become part of the expanded Buckhorn State Park and Wildlife Area
and they would be maintained and operated by the WDNR after the sale.
The four sites to be deleted are: Buckhorn Causeway West, Yellow River
Boat Launch, 19th Avenue Beach Access and Buckhorn Causeway East.

available for inspection and reproduction at the Commission's Public
Reference Room at 888 First Street NE, Room 2A, Washington, DC 20426,
