Description of Request: The licensee requests a temporary variance from the requirements of license Article 407, which requires the licensee to maintain water levels in Lake Greenwood (i.e. reservoir) in accordance with the 1994 rule curve. Specifically, Article 407, as amended in 2010, requires the licensee to maintain a PO 00000 Frm 00021 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 reservoir elevation of 439 feet mean sea level (msl) between April 15 and November 1, and then gradually descend to 437 feet msl from November 1 to December 1, and then to 434.5 feet msl between December 1 and January 15, where it shall remain until January 31. Finally, between February 1 and April 15, the licensee must gradually increase the reservoir level from 434.5 to 439 feet msl. The licensee indicates that, as a result of ongoing drought conditions throughout the watershed, it cannot simultaneously maintain the reservoir level and release the minimum flows required by Article 408. Because priority must be given to provide the required minimum flow in order to protect aquatic resources downstream of the project, a temporary variance from Article 407 is needed until inflows into Lake Greenwood reach normal inflow rates, or until April 15, 2016, whichever occurs first. l.
