k. This application has been accepted 

for filing and is now ready for 

environmental analysis. 

The Council on Environmental 

Quality (CEQ) issued a final rule on July 

15, 2020, revising the regulations under 

40 CFR parts 1500–1518 that federal 

agencies use to implement NEPA (see 

Update to the Regulations Implementing 

the Procedural Provisions of the 

National Environmental Policy Act, 85 

FR 43,304). The Final Rule became 

effective on and applies to any NEPA 

process begun after September 14, 2020. 

An agency may also apply the 

regulations to ongoing activities and 

environmental documents begun before 

September 14, 2020, which includes the 


jbell on DSKJLSW7X2PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 236 / Tuesday, December 8, 2020 / Notices 79009 

proposed Gouverneur Project. 

Commission staff intends to conduct its 

NEPA review in accordance with CEQ’s 

new regulations. 

l. The project consists of two 

developments: Warne Development and 

Castaic Development. The average 

annual generation of the South SWP 

Project from 2007 to 2017 was 304 

gigawatt-hours (GWh) at the Warne 

powerplant and 520 GWh at the Castaic 

powerplant. 

Warne Development 

The major features of the Warne 

Development include: (1) Quail Lake, (2) 

Lower Quail Canal, (3) Peace Valley 

pipeline and intake embankment, (4) 

Gorman bypass channel, (5) the William 

E. Warne powerplant (Warne 

powerplant), (6) switchyard, (7) the 

transmission line that interconnects 

Warne powerplant with the Southern 

California Edison (SCE) Pastoria-Pardee 

transmission line, and (8) appurtenant 

facilities. 

Quail Lake is a small regulating 

reservoir along the State Water Project 

(SWP) that was created by constructing 

an embankment along a sag pond 

formed by the San Andreas fault. 

Water released from Quail Lake 

through the Quail Lake outlet flows into 

the 2-mile-long Lower Quail canal 

which serves as a conveyance to the 

Peace Valley pipeline intake. 

SWP water flowing from Quail Lake 

through Lower Quail canal is routed 

into the Peace Valley pipeline to Warne 

powerplant and then to Pyramid Lake. 

In the event of a Peace Valley pipeline 

outage or scheduled SWP water releases 

exceeding the pipeline’s capacity, the 

water is routed through the Gorman 

bypass channel directly into Pyramid 

Lake. 

The Warne powerplant, an aboveground, steel-reinforced, concrete 

powerhouse, is located at the northern 

(upstream) end of Pyramid Lake, at the 

terminus of the Peace Valley pipeline. 

The powerplant has two 37.5-MW 

Pelton-type generating units, each with 

a rated discharge of 782 cubic feet per 

second (cfs). 

The project includes a 3-mile-long, 

single-circuit, 220-kilovolt (kV) 

transmission line that connects output 

from the project through the Warne 

switchyard to SCE’s Pardee-Pastoria 

transmission line. 

Castaic Development 

The major features of the Castaic 

Development include: (1) Pyramid dam, 

(2) Pyramid Lake, (3) the Angeles tunnel 

and seven penstocks, (4) the Castaic 

powerplant and switchyard, (5) the 

Elderberry forebay and dam, (6) storm 

bypass channel and check dams, (7) the 

transmission lines that interconnect 

Castaic switchyard with the 

Independent System Operator power 

grid, and (8) appurtenant facilities. DWR 

owns and operates the facilities above 

the surge chamber at the southeastern 

end of the Angeles tunnel, and LADWP 

owns and operates the remainder of the 

facilities, including the surge chamber. 

Pyramid dam, at the southern end of 

Pyramid Lake, is a 1,090-foot-long, 400- 

foot-high zoned earth and rock fill dam. 

Water is typically released from a lowlevel outlet to an 18-mile-long section of 

Piru Creek (Pyramid reach), which 

extends from Pyramid dam to the 

NMWSE of Lake Piru. 

Pyramid Lake serves as regulated 

storage for the Castaic powerplant. 

Pyramid Lake also serves as emergency 

storage for the SWP. 

Angeles tunnel, the principal outlet 

from Pyramid Lake, supplies water to 

the Castaic powerplant in the generating 

mode and returns water to the lake from 

Elderberry forebay when the powerplant 

is operating in the pumping mode. 

The Castaic powerplant, an 

aboveground/underground, steelreinforced, concrete powerhouse, is 

located on the northern (upstream) end 

of Elderberry forebay and is a pumpgenerating plant with the ability to 

pump water back to Pyramid Lake using 

off-peak energy when it is economical to 

do so. Elderberry forebay serves as an 

afterbay for the Castaic powerplant 

while in generating mode and as a 

forebay while in pumping mode. 

Pyramid Lake serves as the upper 

reservoir for the powerplant. 

The powerplant has six Francis-type 

pump-turbine units each with a rated 

output of 355,000 horsepower (hp), and 

an estimated rated discharge of 3,500 

cfs. It also has one Pelton-type pump 

starting turbine unit with a rated output 

of 69,000 hp and an approximate rated 

discharge of 752 cfs. 

Elderberry forebay dam is a 1,990- 

foot-long, 200-foot-high zoned earthfill 

dam. 

The Castaic switchyard is a fenced 

switchyard located adjacent to the 

powerhouse. An 11.4-mile-long, 230-kV 

transmission line delivers energy from 

the Castaic switchyard to the Haskell 

Junction substation and transmits 

energy to the Castaic powerplant when 

in the pump-back operating mode. 

Co-Licensees’ Proposed Modifications 

In their Final License Application, the 

co-licensees propose to add the 

following facilities to the project license: 

The existing Quail Detention 

Embankment, segments of some existing 

roads necessary for project operation 

and maintenance, and an existing 

streamflow gage located on Piru Creek 

downstream of Pyramid Dam. 

Additionally, the co-licensees propose 

to remove the Warne Transmission Line 

from the project license. 

The co-licensees also propose to 

modify the project boundary to reduce 

the amount of land from 6,928 acres to 

4,563.8 acres. The project, as proposed 

by the licensee, would reduce the 

amount of federal land from 2,790 acres 

to 2,007 acres of federal lands: 1,336 

acres administered by the U.S. 

Department of Agriculture, Forest 

Service, as part of the Angeles National 

Forest; 665 acres administered by the 

U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest 

Service, as part of the Los Padres 

National Forest; and 6.5 acres 

administered by the U.S. Department of 

the Interior, Bureau of Land 

Management.
