surface elevation limits from 1,000.5
feet mean sea level (msl) and 938 feet
msl, to 1,004.5 feet msl and 920 feet
msl, respectively. FirstLight proposes to
use the additional storage capacity
between December 1, 2016, and March
31, 2017. According to FirstLight,
approval of changes in the water surface
elevation limits would result in an

Independent System Operator-New
England with additional resources to
address winter reliability needs.
