The proposed project would utilize a single, approximately 20-inch-in-diameter conduit within the project area that would convey the discharge water to the turbine where the pressure would be reduced. The applicant proposes to interconnect with an existing 56kilovolt transmission line, maintained by Southern California Edison, which runs the length of the canyon. The estimated annual generation of the project would be 26,300,000 kilowatthours. Applicant Contact: Douglas A.
