    All documents (original and eight copies) should be filed with:

    k. Description of Application: The licensee requests a variance to 
grant David L. Madary permission to construct a floating dock that will 
serve a single family home in the Beaverdam Creek area of Bedford 
County, Virginia. The proposed structure will be located adjacent to 
shoreline classified as Conservation/Environmental according to the 
Shoreline Management Plan, approved on July 5, 2005. The licensee is 
requesting the variance because the proposed action is not in 
conformance with the approved Shoreline Management Plan because of its 
proximity to wetlands. The licensee submitted the request for variance 
because the wetlands will not be impacted nor will vegetation be 
removed from the project boundary.

the Commission in the Public Reference Room, located at 888 First
