Karen, I have not received any response or approval from you on the water quality report for 2012 for the
Jordan Hydroelectric Project (attached). I must file a copy of the report with FERC. If you could send an email
stating no objection, that would help. If I do not hear from you by Feb. 1, 1 will file the report with FERC.
