           4.   Law Offices of GKRSE Letter, dated August 25, 2011 to FERC

           Dear Ms. Bose:

           I have just learned of the latest attempt by Crown Hydro to delay FERC's initiation of
          termination proceedings of the license to construct a hydroelectric facility on public land
          in Minneapolis. The letter (reference 4, above) submitted by the Law Offices of GKRSE
          on behalf of Crown Hydro, LLC is nothing more than a desperate effort to drag out the
          termination of a project by misleading FERC into believing that by some miracle the
          Minnesota Legislature will approve the seizure of the land Crown Hydro wants.

          The legislation that was introduced during the last session to seize the land died without
          action, and with very few supporters, when the regular session of the Minnesota
          Legislature ended May 23, 2011.

          The Special Session of the legislature that was convened on July 19, 2011 and ended on
          July 20, 2011 was called by the Governor solely for consideration of passing a state
          budget and ending a government shutdown. No other legislation was introduced or
          considered, least of all the Crown Hydro bills.

          Crown Hydro's claim that another Special Session is anticipated in October or November
          2011 "to address substantial unfinished legislative business" is totally misleading. The
          only reason Governor Dayton has stated he would even consider calling another Special
          Session would be if an agreement is reached by numerous business and government
          entities for the construction of a new football stadium for the Minnesota Vikings in Arden
          Hills, MN. Whether such agreement can be reached is very much in doubt at this time,
          and no Special Session is likely to be called.

                                                                             Posted by http://MillCityTimes.com




           Crown Hydro's claim that they "have commitments from the legislative leadership" to
           seek passage of the two failed bills is just more smoke and mirrors. Prior to the end of the
           regular legislative session, several of the original sponsors of the bills requested that their
           names be stricken, indicating that once the members became aware of the facts of the
           situation, they declined to support Crown Hydro's efforts to seize public land for a
           private for-pmfit enterprise.

           It is time for FERC to put this project out of its misery by terminating the License No.
           11175-024 immediately. No progress has been made on this project since 1999 when the
           license was first issued. Crown Hydro has continued to string FERC along with promises
           of action to secure site control that never happen.

           I urge FERC to cease listening to this fantasy that is being spun by Crown Hydro's legal
           team and terminate their license now so that our community can move on without the
           constant harassment by a developer with a bad idea that has virtually no local support.
