Re: Design Change Notification No. 3 for Grizzly Tap Removal an d Reconnection
Dear Mr. Cruzen:
This is in response to a letter dated April 1, 2024 from Mr. K yle Ingvoldsen that
submitted design change notification 3 with added scope for a n ew work platform and
access stairway to be installed as part of the Grizzly Tap Remo val and Reconnection
project at Grizzly Forebay Dam, which is part of the Bucks Cree k Hydroelectric Project,
FERC No. 619. We have reviewed the submittal, and we have the following comments:
1. Your submittal is listed as a design change. However, this doe s not appear to
modify the original design we authorized, and therefore is a ch ange in the scope of
construction.
2. There is no design intent, other than stating it is a work plat form with stairs. There
are no design calculations to document any design requirements, or any
information that would indicate this is a designed feature.
3. The submittal does not provide adequate information to clearly identify the
location of the work. Since you consider it to be associated w ith the Grizzly
powerhouse work we authorized previously, we presume the work i s not dam
safety related and does not impact any dam.

4. The drawing specifications appear to be generic specifications and we cannot
determine if they are appropriate for this proposed constructio n.
Due to the factors above, and provided this project is not loca ted at any dam, you
may proceed with construction at your own risk, without our rev iew of the proposed
increase in scope of work, provided that all federal, state, an d local permits have been
obtained for this work.
No response is required for this letter. We appreciate your co ntinued efforts in
this aspect of our dam safety program. If you have questions, please contact Ms. Eunhye
Kim at (415) 369-3321.
Sincerely,
Frank L. Blackett, P.E.
