j. Deadline for filing comments,
motions to intervene, and protest: June
2, 2008.
All documents (original and eight
copies) should be filed with: Secretary,
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission,
888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC
20426.
The Commission’s Rules of Practice
and Procedure require all interveners
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 intervener 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. A copy of any
motion to intervene must also be served

k. Description of Request: On January

Winslow, Maine, FPL Energy is now
requesting Commission approval to
remove the entirety of the existing dam
spillway, including all spillway bays,
totaling approximately 330 linear feet,
using mechanical demolition methods,
in lieu of the approved partial removal.
In order to facilitate the full removal
process, the pre-breach drawdown
period will be extended to two weeks
and the post-breach drawdown period
will be extended to one week.
Given that the Commission has
already issued a final decision on the
surrender of the Fort Halifax Project and
ordered partial removal, the issue before
the Commission with regard to this
filing is the proposed full removal of the
dam as opposed to the approved partial
removal of the dam.
