l. Description of Request: The licensee
is proposing to surrender the license for
the Forest City Storage Project. After
project surrender the licensee would
leave the gates of the Forest City Dam
in place and operable, which will allow
East Grand Lake’s elevation to remain
similar to historical operations. The
licensee is proposing to deed ownership
of the dam to the St. Croix International
Waterway Commission after finalization
of the surrender. St. Croix International
Waterway Commission would be in
control of directing operations of the
dam, which they intend to manage for
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 262001
the purposes of: protection, mitigation
of, damage to, and enhancement of fish
and wildlife; protection of recreational
opportunities; preservation of other
aspects of environmental quality; and
flood control. No modifications to the
existing dam are proposed and no
ground-disturbing activities would
occur with the proposed surrender.
The licensee filed a notice
withdrawing their previous December
23, 2016 surrender application pursuant
to 18 CFR 385.216 (Rule 216) of the
Commission’s regulations because the
new application does not include
removal of the gates and permanent
lowering of the lake elevation as was
contained in the 2016 application. A
Notice of Effectiveness of Withdrawal of
the 2016 application was issued on
January 9, 2024, in the Commission’s
eLibrary system.
Because the licensee withdrew its
2016 surrender application, this is a
new surrender proceeding, and anyone
interested in commenting, intervening,
or protesting in this proceeding should
do so in accordance with the directions
below.

filing may be viewed on the

proceeding. Any comments, protests, or
