crest and (b) two low-level, 3- by 5-foot
vertical slide gates near the right
abutment; (2) a reservoir with a surface
area of about 2 to 4 acres, a gross storage
capacity of about 30 acre-feet (AF), and
a normal water surface elevation of 703
feet mean sea level (m.s.l.); (3) two

k. Description of Proceeding: The
licensee is in violation of Article 16 of
its license, which was granted June 8,
1993 (63 FERC ¶ 62,243). Article 16
states in part: If the Licensee shall
abandon or discontinue good faith
operation of the project or refuse or
neglect to comply with the terms of the
license and the lawful orders of the
Commission, the Commission will deem
it to be the intent of the Licensee to
surrender the license.
Commission records indicate that the
project stopped operating in July 2005.
Since that time, the licensee has
attempted to sell the project and/or
acquire a favorable rate contract to
determine if it is economically feasible
to generate power at the project. On
December 5, 2013, staff sent the licensee
a letter requiring either an application to
surrender the project or a plan and
schedule to restore operation. On
February 6, 2014, the licensee filed a
response indicating its desire to
surrender the project. The filing did not
meet the requirements of a surrender
application.
