The Commission’s Rules of Practice
and Procedure require all intervenors
filing documents with the Commission
to serve a copy of that document on
each person in the official service list
for the project. Further, if an intervenor
files comments or documents with the
Commission relating to the merits of an
issue that may affect the responsibilities
of a particular resource agency, they
must also serve a copy of the document
on that resource agency.
l. Description of Project: The Tank 4
In-Conduit Hydroelectric Project would
replace the City of Avenal’s water
storage Tank 4 with an in-conduit
turbine system which would deliver
energy while controlling the pressure of
treated water entering the City’s drink
water distribution system. The intake
for the water is located adjacent to the
San Luis Canal. The water is treated
near the intake and is conveyed
approximately 6 miles to the project
site. The hydroelectric system will
capture some of the energy of the
gravitational flow within the drinking
water system to generate electricity.
m. This filing is available for review
and reproduction at the Commission in
the Public Reference Room, Room 2A,
888 First Street NE., Washington, DC
20426. The filing may also be viewed on

Power Project would be located at the
existing 21.3-foot-high, 294-foot-long
Williams Dam currently owned by the
State of Indiana, on the East Fork White
River in Lawrence County, Indiana. In

intake structure with trashracks having
3-inch-clear bar spacing; (2) a 126-footlong, 70-foot-wide powerhouse integral
to the dam; (3) four turbine-generator
units with a combined installed
capacity of 4.0 MW; (4) a 40-foot by 40foot substation; (5) a 265-foot-long,
three-phase, 12.5-kilovolt overhead
transmission line connecting the
project’s substation to local utility
distribution lines; and (6) other
appurtenant facilities.
The proposed project would operate
in a run-of-river mode by maintaining
the reservoir’s water surface elevation at
the crest of the dam’s spillway. The
average annual generation would be
about 17,850 megawatt-hours.
