Comments emailed to Commission staff are not considered part of the 
Commission record.
    The Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure require all 
intervenors filing documents with the Commission to serve a copy of 
that document on each person whose name appears on the official service 
list for the project. Further, if an intervenor files comments or 
documents with the Commission relating to the merits of an issue that 
may affect the responsibilities of a particular resource agency, they 
must also serve a copy of the document on that resource agency.
    k. Description of Request: The licensee requests approval of a non-
project use of project lands and waters in support of a public park to 
be located adjacent to and partially on project lands. The licensee 
proposes a water withdrawal of 2.27 cubic feet per second (cfs) to be 
taken from the right bank of the Snake River, upstream of the Lower 
Development weir. The request includes provisions to construction an 
intake structure and a series of pipes leading to a constructed, 
educational stream and pond in the public park. Approximately 0.27 cfs 
of the diverted water would be used for irrigation in the park, and the 
remaining 2 cfs would be returned to the Snake River downstream of the 
Lower Development weir. This would be the first water withdrawal at the 
project, and it would not require any alterations of current project 
operations.
