Description of Request: The Kings River Conservation District (KRCD), filed an application for a non-capacity amendment of the license to add a 6.3 megawatt generating unit. The existing project license authorizes the KRCD to utilize three penstocks installed in the U.S. Army Core of Engineers, Pine Flat Dam. The Jeff L. Taylor Powerhouse, located at the toe of the dam, contains three 55 MW Francis turbines, and generates electricity with run of the river flows ranging from 500 to 8,000 cubic feet per second (cfs). To maintain downstream cold water flows, a nonproject bypass system releases 900 cfs when the penstocks are not open. KRCD proposes to add an additional generating unit to the bypass system that would increase generation capacity PO 00000 Frm 00032 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 12687 from 165 MW by 3.8% to a total of 171.3 MW. This generator would allow for power generation at flows below 500 cfs. l.
