such requests described in item l below.
Cooperating agencies should note the
Commission’s policy that agencies that
cooperate in the preparation of the
environmental document cannot also
intervene. See, 94 FERC ¶ 61,076 (2001).
k. Pursuant to section 4.32(b)(7) of 18
CFR of the Commission’s regulations, if
any resource agency, Indian Tribe, or
person believes that an additional
scientific study should be conducted in
order to form an adequate factual basis
for a complete analysis of the
application on its merit, the resource
agency, Indian Tribe, or person must file
a request for a study with the
Commission not later than 60 days from
the date of filing of the application, and
serve a copy of the request on the
applicant.
l. Deadline for filing additional study
requests and requests for cooperating
agency status: October 29, 2007.
All documents (original and eight
copies) should be filed with: Kimberly
D. Bose, Secretary, Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission, 888 First
Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426.
Additional study requests and
requests for cooperating agency status
may be filed electronically via the
Internet in lieu of paper. The
Commission strongly encourages
electronic filings. See 18 CFR
385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the instructions
on the Commission’s Web site (https://
www.ferc.gov) under the ‘‘e-Filing’’ link.
m. This application is not ready for
environmental analysis at this time.
n. The existing project works consists
of the following two developments:
The existing Badger Development
utilizes the head created by the 22-foothigh Army Corps of Engineers (Corps)
Kaukauna dam and consists of: (1) A
2,100-foot-long, 100-foot-wide power
canal that bifurcates into a 260-footlong, 200-foot-wide canal and a 250foot-long, 80-foot-wide canal leading to;
(2) the Old Badger powerhouse
containing two 1,000-kilowatt (kW)
generating units for a total installed
capacity of 2,000 kW; and (3) the New
Badger powerhouse containing two
1,800-kilowatt (kW) generating units for
a total installed capacity of 3,600 kW;
and (4) appurtenant facilities.
The existing Rapide Croche
Development utilizes the head created
by the 20-foot-high Corps Rapide Croche
dam, located approximately 4.5 miles
downstream from the Badger
Development and consists of: (1) A
powerhouse, located on the south end of
the dam, containing four 600-kW
generating units for a total installed
capacity of 2,400 kW; (2) the 5-milelong, 12-kV transmission line; and (3)
appurtenant facilities.
VerDate Aug<31>2005

The proposed project would include
decommissioning the Old Badger and
New Badger plants and constructing a
new 7-MW powerhouse about 150 feet
upstream from the existing New Badger
plant site. Proposed project works
would consist of: (1) A modified power
canal leading to; (2) a new powerhouse
with integral intake; and (3) two
identical 3.5-to 3.6-MW horizontal
Kaplan ‘‘S’’ type turbines. The Old
Badger development would be
converted to an alternative use. The
New Badger development would be
decommissioned, demolished, and
removed. The existing service road
would be demolished and removed. The
tailrace area associated with the existing
Old Badger development would be
filled with soil. A new service road
would be constructed over the filled
area. No significant changes are
proposed for the Rapide Croche
development.
The existing Badger and Rapide
Croche developments currently operate
in run-of-river mode and as proposed,
the new project would continue to
operate in a run-of-river mode.

included in the next notice issued for
this project.
Final amendments to the application
must be filed with the Commission no
later than 30 days from the issuance
