Draft FERC Hydropower License Amendment Application

Denver Water operates a hydroelectric power plant at Gross Reservoir under a Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) hydropower license. To enlarge the reservoir, Denver Water needs to apply to the FERC for an amendment to its existing hydropower license. Denver Water is required to provide information on the proposed changes at Gross Reservoir to stakeholders (e.g., relocation of recreation facilities, changes in hydropower generation, etc.), and gather comments prior to submitting a final application to the FERC.

Please note that the draft application is a large document (several megabytes) and it may take a long time to download.
