The Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure require all

k. Description of Request: The licensee requests Commission
approval to grant the Joint Municipal Water and Sewer Commission
(JMWSC) permission to use project lands and water within the project
boundary on Lake Murray for the construction and operation of a
component of a raw water intake facility (facility) to provide public
drinking water. The component of the facility proposed to be
constructed within the project boundary is a single screened 84' intake
pipe that would extend from the shoreline of Lake Murray into Lake
Murray itself. The remaining components of the facility would be
constructed outside of the project boundary. Once constructed and
operational, the facility would initially withdraw 10 million gallons
per day (MGD) from Lake Murray. Subsequently, JMWSC would increase
withdrawals made by the facility in 10 MGD increments over time, as
needed, up to a maximum of 50 MGD, as water demands dictate.
