Re: Crown Hydro, P 11175-024
Dear Ms. Bose:
On June 23, 2011 Crown Hydro requested an extension of time to answer FERC’s show cause
letter based on its hope to get legislation passed during a special session of the Minnesota
Legislature that Crown was unable to get passed during the 2009 and 2011 regular sessions.
Friends of the Riverfront would like to bring to FERC’s attention that the Minnesota Legislature
ended its special session at 3:45A this morning and the twelve agreed upon budget bills were
signed into law by Governor Dayton at 9:00A1 .
None of the bills had the provision that Crown sought2.
As the basis for Crown’s extension request, its hope for legislation at a special session did not
occur, Friends respectfully requests FERC to deny Crown’s extension request and to take steps to
terminate its license.
Sincerely,
Edna C. Brazaitis
