Becoming an Intervenor
In addition to involvement in the EIS
scoping process, you may want to
become an official party to the
proceeding known as an ‘‘intervenor.’’
Intervenors play a more formal role in
the process. Among other things,
intervenors have the right to receive
copies of case-related Commission
documents and filings by other
intervenors. Likewise, each intervenor
must send one electronic copy (using
the Commission’s eFiling system) or 14
paper copies of its filings to the
Secretary of the Commission and must
send a copy of its filings to all other
parties on the Commission’s service list
for this proceeding.
If you want to become an intervenor
you must file a motion to intervene
according to Rule 214 of the
Commission’s Rules of Practice and
Procedure (18 CFR 385.214).3 Only
intervenors have the right to seek
rehearing of the Commission’s decision.
Affected landowners and parties with
environmental concerns may be granted
intervenor status upon showing good
3 Interventions may also be filed electronically via
the Internet in lieu of paper. See the previous
discussion on filing comments electronically.

and direct interest in this proceeding
which would not be adequately
represented by any other parties. You do
not need intervenor status to have your
environmental comments considered.
Environmental Mailing List
All commentors will be retained on
our mailing list. If you do not want to
send comments at this time but still
want to keep informed and receive
copies of the Draft and Final EISs, you
must return the Mailing List Retention
Form (Appendix 2). Also, indicate on
the form your preference for receiving a
paper version in lieu of an electronic
version of the EIS on CD-ROM. If you
do not return this form, we will remove
your name from our mailing list.
Please note, if you have previously
submitted comments or returned a
Mailing List Retention Form, you are
already on our mailing list and do not
need to re-submit comments or a
Mailing List Retention Form.

k. Description of Request: Upper
Peninsula Power Company has filed an
Environmental Report addressing its
intent to rebuild the Silver Lake
Reservoir, part of the Dead River
Hydroelectric Project (FERC No. 10855).
The project consists of three separate
developments: Silver Lake, Dead River
(Hoist), and McClure. Silver Lake serves
as a storage reservoir for downstream
power generation. In May 2003, an
emergency fuse plug on the Silver Lake
Reservoir activated, resulting in the
release of a large quantity of water, rock
and sediment downstream. A river
recovery project has been implemented,
however, the elevation of the reservoir
is significantly reduced. The licensee is
proposing to rebuild Silver Lake
Reservoir, which requires constructing a
new dam #2 to replace the prior
emergency fuse plug, raising the height
of the main dam and a series of smaller
dikes and dams that contain the
reservoir, adding a new spillway, and
raising the level of the current service
spillway to the height of the main dam,
ending its function as a spillway.
The Commission intends to prepare
an environmental document under the
National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA) for the Silver Lake Reservoir
rebuilding project. The NEPA document
will be used by the Commission to
identify environmental impacts and to
identify measures that would help
mitigate the impacts caused by rebuild
activities.
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, DC 20426, or by calling
(202) 502–8371. This filing may also be
viewed on the Commission’s Web site at

‘‘eLibrary’’ link. Enter the docket
number excluding the last three digits in
the docket number field to access the
document. You may also register online
