On the FERC web site is a two page letter from MDC to Ameren. Here is the last paragraph.

In general, MDC is not opposed to the upper reservoir rebuild; provided our fish, forest, and
wildlife concerns are fully addressed. However, we do need to make progress on the difficult
issues. In particular, we need to address the water management not only for the construction of
the upper reservoir, but also for the restoration and maintenance of aquatic life, particularly in
the East Fork, below the lower reservoir. MDC remains committed to working with you, your
consultants, and the other agencies on this and the various other resource issues that are
associated with this restoration project.
