which is 0.37 foot above mean sea level)
to facilitate a scheduled a drawdown of
the project impoundment, Lake Worth.
The purpose of the drawdown is to
provide for installation of new shoreline
structures and maintenance of existing
shoreline structures. The licensee will
lower Lake Worth approximately 3.5
feet from the lower limit of the normal
target elevation range, 181.3 feet, to an

proposes to utilize a drawdown rate of
one half-foot per day. The licensee
anticipates reaching the target
drawdown elevation of 177.8 feet on
October 3, 2022 and remain at the target
drawdown elevation for four weeks. The
licensee plans to begin refilling Lake
