k. Description of Request: The licensee proposes to amend the
license for the Upper Red Lake Dam Hydroelectric Project to accelerate
the expiration date of the license. The current expiration date of the
license is December 31, 2018. The licensee requests the Commission to
issue an order accelerating the expiration date of the license to not
less than 5 years and 90 days from the date of the Commission order.
The reasons for the request follow: (1) The licensee also operates the
Weed Dam Hydroelectric Project (FERC Project No. 2464), which is
located immediately downstream from the Upper Red Lake Dam Project; (2)
the current license for the Weed Dam Project expires June 30, 2015, and
the licensee will file a subsequent license application no later than
June 30, 2013; and (3) the licensee would like to combine the
relicensing activities since the two projects are small in size,
approximate in location, and only three and one-half years apart in
license expiration date, which would result in substantial savings to
the licensee and more effective consultation with resources agencies
and other stakeholders.
