Description of Request: GRDA requests a temporary variance to deviate from the reservoir elevation rule curve stipulated under Article 401 of the project license. GRDA says the requested variance would improve public recreational opportunities, increase public safety at Grand Lake, assist in managing dissolved oxygen levels at the project and other downstream projects, and provide a cushion against a potential late-summer drought. Specifically, GRDA proposes to modify the existing rule curve between the dates of August 16 and October 31, 2015. Between August 16 and September 15, the reservoir would be maintained at elevation 743 feet Pensacola Datum (PD) which is up to two feet higher than the current rule curve. Between September 16 and September 30, the elevation would be lowered from 743 to 742 feet PD. Between October 1 and October 31, the reservoir would be maintained at elevation 742 feet PD which is up to one foot higher than the current rule curve. After October 31, reservoir elevations would be identical to the existing rule curve. GRDA also requests to deviate from the reservoir elevations under the rule curve and release 0.03 and 0.06 feet of water per day, regardless of reservoir levels authorized under this variance, to comply with dissolved oxygen (DO) requirements in Article 403 of the license. In addition, GRDA proposes to implement an adaptive management plan with resource agencies and stakeholders to address concerns in the event of a drought or high precipitation that may occur during the variance period. The proposed temporary variance and procedures for DO enhancement would end on November 1, 2015. 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.
