k. Description of Request: Brookfield
White Pine Hydro, LLC, licensee for the
Weston (P–2325) and Shawmut (P–
2322) Projects, and Merimil Limited
Partnership, licensee for the Lockwood
Project (2574), together request
amendment of the Interim Species
Protection Plan (Interim SPP) that the
Commission approved for the three
projects in an order issued May 19,
2016. The Interim SPP identifies
measures that will be implemented at
the three projects in the years 2013
through 2019 to protect federally-listed
endangered Atlantic salmon. Under the
Interim SPP and subsequent extensions
of time, volitional upstream fish passage
facilities are being designed and
constructed at the projects, and are to be
operational in May 2019 at the
Shawmut Project, and in May 2020 at
the Weston and Lockwood Projects. In
their request, the licensees request that
two years be added to the operational
dates for those facilities at each project,
so that those facilities would be
operational in May 2021 at the
Shawmut Project, and in May 2022 at
the Weston and Lockwood Projects. The
licensees request the extension so that
they can complete, collaboratively with
state and federal resource agencies and
other entities, a feasibility assessment of
options for multi-dam fish passage
which would include but not be limited
to options in the Interim SPP.
