k.

At present, GRDA is required to file a final application for a new license by March 31, 2020, two years prior to license expiration. GRDA requests an extension of the existing license and modification of the relicensing process plan and schedule to: (1) Account for a delay that occurred in initiating the relicensing process; (2) provide additional time for GRDA to complete the required bathymetric survey of Grand Lake and its tributaries; and (3) provide sufficient time for GRDA to incorporate complete results from the required studies and consultation with stakeholders in its preliminary licensing proposal or draft license application. In addition, GRDA proposes that the deadlines required under its current license to file an updated Shoreline Management Plan and revised Exhibit G drawings be extended to coincide with the filing of the final application for a new license.
