    k. Description of Request: The applicant proposes to replace the

addition to seepage where the intake structure meets the dam. The 
existing diversion dam would be replaced with a new structure of 
reinforced concrete and roller-compacted concrete. The work would not 
result in any changes to dam height, dam width, associated water 
levels, or project operation.
