consider both site-specific and
cumulative environmental impacts and
reasonable alternatives to the proposed
actions.
Commission staff does not propose to
conduct any on-site scoping meetings at
this time. Instead, the staff will solicit
comments, recommendations,
information, and alternatives in the
Scoping Document (SD).
Copies of the SD outlining the subject
areas to be addressed in the EA were
distributed to the parties on the
Commission’s mailing list. Copies of the
SD may be viewed on the Web at
https://www.ferc.gov using the
‘‘eLibrary’’ link (see item m above).

application for the A-Drop Project was
filed on April 1, 2008. The correct filing
date for the A-Drop Project application
is March 31, 2008.
Johnson drop structure. The applicant
proposes to construct: (1) An inflatable
weir spanning the width of the canal; (2)
an intake structure with trash rack and
radial gate or stop-log shut off; (3) a
buried, 60-inch-diameter, 900-foot-long
steel or polyethylene penstock; (4) a
powerhouse containing one Francis or
propeller (Reaction) turbine and one
generator with a rated output of 700 kW;
(5) a tailrace about 11.25 feet long,
returning flows to the canal; (6) a
switchyard; (7) a 0.5-mile-long, 69-kV
transmission line interconnecting with
an existing powerline; and (8) a
powerhouse access road. Average
annual generation would be 1.7 GWh.
The proposed A-Drop Project would
be built at the Greenfields Main Canal’s
Greenfield drop structure. The applicant
proposes to construct: (1) An inflatable
weir spanning the width of the canal; (2)
an intake structure with trash rack and
radial gate or stop-log shut off; (3) a
buried, 96-inch-diameter, 570-foot-long
steel or polyethylene penstock; (4) a
powerhouse containing one Francis or
propeller (Reaction) turbine and one
generator with a rated output of 1,000
kW; (5) a tailrace returning flows to the
canal; (6) a switchyard; (7) a 0.1-milelong, 12-kV transmission line
interconnecting with an existing
powerline; and (8) an approximately
570-foot-long powerhouse access road.
Average annual generation would be 2.5
GWh.
