    k. Description of Application: Grant PUD requests Commission 
approval to relocate the camping and fishing amenities planned for the

two vault toilets, designated day use parking area, pedestrian access 
to the Columbia River, and improved access roads. The modification is 
being proposed to address concerns raised by the Wanapum Band of

has been proposed for designation as a traditional cultural property. 
Existing recreational use at the tailrace would continue to be allowed.
