of the project license. Both plans only

Jkt 244001
address fish passage and effectiveness
evaluation at the project’s West Branch
development; these plans do not
address passage and evaluation at the
Sysladobsis development—because of
the licensee’s pending amendment
application (filed January 31, 2017) to
remove the Sysladobsis development
from the project license. The Fishway
Operation and Maintenance Plan filed
pursuant to Article 409 describes the
fish species that would be passed and
how the licensee would operate the
fishway to ensure effectiveness. Under
Article 409, the licensee and the
resource agencies were unable to reach
a consensus on which species to pass,
therefore, the Commission will evaluate
the record to make a determination on
this issue. The Fishway Evaluation Plan
filed pursuant to Article 410 provides a
framework for evaluating the
effectiveness of the fishway to those
species selected for passage after
operation of the fishway commences.
l. Locations of the Application: A
copy of the application is available for
inspection and reproduction at the
Commission’s Public Reference Room,
