    k. Description of Request: Exelon Generating Company, LLC is 
requesting Commission approval to authorize the Maryland Environmental 
Service (applicant) to implement a dredging pilot project approximately

dredge 1,000 cubic yards of sediment from project waters, stockpile the 
stored sediment at Peach Bottom Road Boat Launch, then transport dried 
material outside the project boundary for beneficial use within the 
state of Maryland. The dredging pilot project would result in limited 
availability of the Dorsey Park Boat Launch to half capacity for 3 
weeks and closure of the Peach Bottom Road Boat Launch for up to two 
months. The proposed dredging pilot project would occur outside the 
recreational boating season.
