North American Hydro Inc.; Notice To Convene Meeting on 
Alternative Dispute Resolution Process

July 5, 2002.
    On June 24, 1997, the Commission issued an ``Order Approving 
Feasibility Study for Fish Exclusion Measures.'' The order required 
North American Hydro Inc. or the licensee to file a two-year 
feasibility study to determine the practicality of fish protection 
measures at the project. The project is located on the Menominee River 
in Marinette County, Wisconsin and Menominee County, Michigan.
    On September 22, 1999 and on April 28, 2000, based on comments 
received from the Wisconsin and Michigan Departments of Natural 
Resources and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, North American Hydro 
filed its Evaluation of Fish Exclusion Measures for Park Mill Project. 
Issues that remain unresolved are related to fish entrainment and 
mortality. These issues include monetary compensation values of the 
fish, appropriate fish passage protection devices, costs of fish 
protection measures, a fish protection fund, and compensatory 
mitigation.
    The Commission's Dispute Resolution Service will conduct a 
convening session on July 25, 2002, commencing at 10:30 a.m., in the 
Conference Room at the Peshtigo Service Center of the Wisconsin 
Department of Natural Resources in Peshtigo, Wisconsin. The convening 
session will cover Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) processes and 
interest-based negotiation. The Dispute Resolution Service will also 
assist the parties in better identifying and clarifying the issues in 
the above-captioned docket. If a party has any questions, please call 
Deborah Osborne at (202) 208-0831.

Magalie R. Salas,
Secretary.
