We have reviewed the submittal, and have the following comment: While the special inspector was named in the Quality Control and Inspection Program (QCIP)and a resume provided, we note that the Design Engineer and Construction Project Manager were not named. Resumes for all positions with stop work or recommend stop work authority must be provided, and these were missing for the Project Manager and Construction Project Manager.Update the organizational chart to name these individuals and provide the required resumes customized to match direct experience to other projects with a similar scope of work to this project. Provided that you address the above comment within 10 days of the date of this letter, you are authorized to proceed with construction upon receipt of this letter. Failure to adequately address our comment within 10 days will require a suspension of all work until the comments are addressed. During construction,we typically require monthly construction reports. However, due to the short duration of this project, we will not require monthly construction reports. 2 Within 90 days of completion of construction of the facilities authorized by this letter, or no later than December 29, 2026, you must file the following: 1.A final construction report, which addresses the applicable items in Enclosure 1. 2.The following construction certifications, which must be verified in accordance with Title 18, Section 12.13 of the Code of Federal Regulations (18 CFR 12.13): a.A certification by the Design Engineer that the project was constructed in accordance with the design intent. b.A certification by the Quality Control Manager that the inspection and testing program resulted in the conclusion that the project was constructed in accordance with the plans and specifications reviewed by us. c.A certification by the Licensee (South Feather Water and Power Agency) that the project was constructed in accordance with the design intent and in accordance with the plans and specifications reviewed by us.
