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 whose name appears on 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 Request: As licensed, the unconstructed project would contain one turbine that produced 28.1 megawatts (MW) generating capacity. To install the single unit would require excavation of 100 feet of material, that may not be safe for the adjacent Corps facilities. Therefore, the licensee is proposing an alternate design that would utilize 5 smaller turbine units that would greatly reduce the depth of excavation. The proposed amendment would still have the same generating capacity of 28.1 MW but would reduce the rated turbine discharge of 18,486 to 17,650 cubic feet per second. The powerhouse would be redesigned to hold the five 3.65-meter bulb turbinegenerator units, and would be approximately 170-feet-wide, 135-feethigh, and 180-feet-long. The headrace channel and tailrace channels would also be redesigned from what was originally licensed. No changes would occur to the interconnection transmission route. m.
