Project is taken from the San Joaquin
River just downstream of its confluence
with Big Creek and conveyed to the Big
Creek No. 3 Powerhouse through
Tunnel No. 3. The energy generated by
the Project is transmitted to the SCE
transmission and distribution system
and used for public utility purposes.
The project would have an average
annual generation of 804,240 megawatthours.
• Powerhouse: Big Creek Powerhouse
No. 3, with five turbine generator units.
• Moderate-sized dam and forebay:
Dam 6 and Dam 6 Impoundment, with

elevation of about 2,230 ft above mean
sea level (msl).
• Water conveyance system:
Powerhouse No. 3 water conveyance
system, about 5.3 miles long, conveys
water from Dam No. 6 Impoundment to
Big Creek Powerhouse No. 3 through a
tunnel with a capacity of about 3,250
cfs. The system includes a pressurerelief valve system and penstocks
providing pressurized water from the
tunnel to the turbine.

k. Description of Proposal: In 2004,
the Brazos River Authority (BRA)
requested a permit for a 302 slip facility
(120 existing and 182 proposed) at Hill
Country Harbor Marina on Possum
Kingdom Lake. The permit was
authorized by the Commission on June
1, 2005. In January 2007, BRA
discovered that the facility that was
proposed and approved incorrectly
identified the number of boat slips.
While the footprint of the facility
remains virtually unchanged, the BRA is
requesting authorization for 402 total
boat slips. The remainder of the
application remains unchanged as the
slips will be constructed off-site and
floated into place, and no dredging or
excavation will be necessary.
