There are two ways to become
involved in the Commission’s review of
this project. First, any person wishing to
obtain legal status by becoming a party
to the proceedings for this project
should, on or before the comment date
stated below file with the Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission, 888
First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426,
a motion to intervene in accordance
VerDate Aug<31>2005
16:29 May 10, 2006
Jkt 208001
with the requirements of the
Commission’s Rules of Practice and
Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or 385.211)
and the Regulations under the NGA (18
CFR 157.10). A person obtaining party
status will be placed on the service list
maintained by the Secretary of the
Commission and will receive copies of
all documents filed by the applicant and
by all other parties. A party must submit
14 copies of filings made in the
proceeding with the Commission and
must mail a copy to the applicant and
to every other party. Only parties to the
proceeding can ask for court review of
Commission orders in the proceeding.
However, a person does not have to
intervene in order to have comments
considered. The second way to
participate is by filing with the
Secretary of the Commission, as soon as
possible, an original and two copies of
comments in support of or in opposition
to this project. The Commission will
consider these comments in
determining the appropriate action to be
taken, but the filing of a comment alone
will not serve to make the filer a party
to the proceeding. The Commission’s
rules require that persons filing
comments in opposition to the project
provide copies of their protests only to
the party or parties directly involved in
the protest.
Persons who wish to comment only
on the environmental review of this
project should submit an original and
two copies of their comments to the
Secretary of the Commission.
Environmental commenters will be
placed on the Commission’s
environmental mailing list, will receive
copies of the environmental documents,
and will be notified of meetings
associated with the Commission’s
environmental review process.
Environmental commenters will not be
required to serve copies of filed
documents on all other parties.
However, the non-party commenters
will not receive copies of all documents
filed by other parties or issued by the
Commission (except for the mailing of
environmental documents issued by the
Commission) and will not have the right
to seek court review of the
Commission’s final order.
Protests and interventions may be
filed electronically via the Internet in
lieu of paper; see, 18 CFR
385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the instructions
on the Commission’s Web site under the
‘‘e-Filing’’ link. The Commission
strongly encourages electronic filings.

Intervene, and Protests
May 4, 2006.
On April 26, 2006, Southern
California Edison Company (SCE) filed
a petition for a declaratory order to
resolve whether a 12,000 volt substation
located on the other side of Big Creek
from Powerhouse Nos. 2 (part of Project
No. 2175) and 2A (part of Project No.
67) is within the Commission’s
jurisdiction under the Federal Power
Act. The projects are on Big Creek in
Fresno County, California.
The petition contends that the
Commission does not have jurisdiction

distribution facilities.

protest the petition should file
comments, a protest, or a motion to
intervene in accordance with the

Herbert Butler, et al., Complainants v.
South Carolina Public Service
Authority, Respondent; Notice
Dismissing Complaint
May 3, 2006.
On February 21, 2006, Herbert Butler,
et al. (Complainants) filed a complaint
against South Carolina Public Service
Authority (Public Service), licensee for
the Santee-Cooper Project No. 199,
located on the Santee and Cooper
Rivers, in Berkeley, Calhoun,
Clarendon, Orangeburg, and Sumter
Counties, South Carolina.1 On March
1 The existing 118-megawatt (MW) Santee Cooper
Project consists of: The 2.2 mile-long Santee Dam
on the Santee River; the 1.2 mile-long Pinopolis
Dam on the Cooper River; the 5-mile-long Diversion
Canal which connects Lake Marion and Lake
Moultrie; the Santee Spillway Hydroelectric Station
with one 2.0–MW turbine; the Pinopolis
Hydroelectric Station with one 8.0-MW turbine and
four 27.0-MW turbines; the 43-mile-long Lake
Marion Reservoir, located on the Santee River; and
the 12-mile-long Lake Moultrie Reservoir, located
on the Cooper River.

31, 2006, Public Service filed an answer
to the complaint. On March 30, 2006,
the United States Army Corps of
Engineers (Corps) filed comments.
The Complainants contend that
Public Service has and continues to
operate the project in violation of its
license so as to cause unnecessary
floods on the Complainants land. They
have asked the Commission to
investigate and to stop Public Service
from its continuing violations of its
license. The Complainants specifically
allege that it is Public Service’s
operation of the Corps’ St. Stephen
Hydroplant 2 that is causing flooding on
their land.3
The Commission’s regulations
provide that a complaint may be filed
seeking Commission action against any
person alleged to be ‘‘in contravention
or violation of any statute, rule, order,
or other law administered by the
Commission or for any other alleged
wrong over which the Commission may
have jurisdiction.’’ 4 The regulations
further provide that the complaint must
[c]learly identify the action or inaction
which is alleged to violate applicable
statutory standards or regulatory
requirements.’’ 5
The crux of Complainants’ allegations
is that flooding has been caused by the
operation of the Corps’ St. Stephen’s
project. Because the Corps’ project is a
Federal project, which is outside the
Commission’s jurisdiction, and since
the Complainants do not allege that
Public Service is in violation of its
license, the Federal Power Act, or the
2 The St. Stephen Hydroplant is a Corps-owned
power project that is operated by Public Service.
Congress authorized the construction of a
rediversion project which included a rediversion
canal to connect Lake Moultrie to the Santee River,
reducing the flow of fresh water into Charleston
Harbor through the Cooper River. The St. Stephen
powerhouse was built as part of this project. Public
Service operates the St. Stephen’s project pursuant
to a 1977 contract between it and the Corps.
3 Complainants also allege, without elaboration,
that Public Service violated Articles 38, 40 and 53
of its license. Article 38 requires Public Service to
implement and modify when appropriate the
emergency action plan on file with the Commission.
The plan is designed to provide an early warning
to upstream and downstream inhabitants and
property owners if there should be an impending
or actual sudden release of water caused by an
accident to, or failure of, the Santee Cooper Project
works. It also requires Public Service to monitor
upstream or downstream conditions for the purpose
of making appropriate changes to the emergency
action plan. Article 40 requires the installation and
operation of notification and warning devices that
may be needed to warn the public of fluctuations
in flow from the Santee Cooper Project. Article 53
requires Public Service to obtain flowage easements
over land inundated by project waters within the
Santee Cooper Project boundary. Complainants
have not demonstrated any violation of these
articles, nor of any other requirement of its license.
4 See 18 CFR 385.206(a)(2005).
