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

that resource agency. A copy of any
motion to intervene must also be served
upon each representative of the
Applicant specified in the particular
application.
k. Description of Request: Progress
Energy Carolinas is requesting a
temporary variance of the requirements
for lake level, dissolved oxygen and
minimum flow. Due to persistent
drought conditions in the project area
and the need to maintain a minimum
reservoir elevation to prevent erosion of
dioxin laden lake sediments, Progress
Energy requests that it be allowed to
reduce flow releases below the
minimum flow requirement of 100 cubic
feet per second if the Walters Lake
reaches an elevation of 2234 feet, and to
stop all releases from the powerhouse if
Walters Lake reaches elevation 2232
feet. Only flows from Big Creek, the 12
mile bypassed reach of the Pigeon River,
and other small tributaries will provide
flow. Progress Energy proposes to
resume minimum flow releases when
Walters Lake is at and above an
elevation of 2236 feet. The licensee
proposes to limit complete shutdown of
flow releases to periods not to exceed 7
days at elevation above 2232 feet.
Progress Energy has consulted with
Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency
and the North Carolina Department of
Environment and Natural Resources.
These agencies concur with the request.
On August 31, 2007, the Commission
granted the licensee’s requests, but
reserved authority to require changes in
project operation based upon comments
received from this notice.
l. Location of the Application: The
filing is available for inspection and
reproduction at the Commission’s
Public Reference Room, located at 888
First Street, NE., Room 2A, Washington,
