Description of Project: Escondido and Vista are the joint current owners and operators of the currently licensed Escondido Hydroelectric Project facilities and hold the current Commission license for the Escondido Hydroelectric Project. The primary purpose of the project has historically been for water delivery for consumptive purposes, including agricultural and municipal-industrial uses. The most upstream component of the Escondido Hydroelectric Project is the Escondido canal diversion dam, a concrete structure located on the San Luis Rey River within the La Jolla Indian Reservation approximately 10 miles downstream from Lake Henshaw. The dam diverts San Luis Rey River water into the 13.6-mile-long Escondido canal that extends from a diversion dam to Lake Wohlford. The canal traverses the La Jolla, Rincon, and San Pasqual Indian reservations, as well as other Federal and private lands. Historically, the canal has delivered 10 to 15 percent of the waters diverted into the Escondido canal to the Rincon Indian Reservation. Lake Wohlford stores the water obtained from the San Luis Rey River and Escondido Creek watersheds, which is then used consumptively by Escondido and Vista. Water is delivered from Lake Wohlford through a 4,022foot-long penstock through the Bear Valley powerhouse or bypasses the powerhouse. The powerhouse location takes advantage of the 495 feet of elevation drop from Lake Wohlford to the water delivery point. From the Bear Valley powerhouse, water is delivered via underground conduits to Escondido’s water treatment plant. From the treatment plant, water is distributed for consumptive uses on a prorated basis into the distribution systems of both Escondido and Vista. The hydroelectric generation component of the water conveyance system consists of the existing Bear Valley powerhouse, which has a nameplate generation capacity of 1.5 megawatt. The powerhouse consists of two 1,010-horsepower impulse turbines and two 750 kilowatt (kW) generators which operate at a gross head of 495 feet. Two 16-inch submerged sleeve valves allow for water delivery from the Project when it is necessary to bypass the turbines due to maintenance or other operational constraints. The average annual production was 4,903,000 kilowatt-hours (kWh) per year for fiscal year 1987 through 2006. The capacity and energy is sold to San Diego Gas & Electric Company (at avoided cost rates).
