primarily located on federal land in the 

Sequoia National Forest and consist of: 

(1) the project’s main diversion, 

Fairview Dam, located on the North 

Fork Kern River (NFKR) at river mile 

18.6, which is a 26-foot-high mass 

concrete overflow gravity structure with 

a 206-foot-long, 6.5-foot-wide overflow 

crest at 3,632 feet above mean sea level 

that also serves as the spillway with a 

capacity of about 15,000 cubic feet per 

second (cfs) with 8 feet of head; (2) two 

non-operational fish ladders located 

adjacent to the west abutment of the 

dam; (3) two 19-foot by 8-foot fishrelease slide gates each with a capacity 

of 300 cfs located near the east abutment 

of the dam passing minimum instream 

flow releases to the 16-mile-long NFKR 

bypassed reach; (4) an 85-foot-long, 19- 

foot-wide rectangular reinforced 

concrete intake structure and trash rack 

with 2-inch spacing on the east 

abutment of the dam diverting water 

from the NFKR; (5) a 61-foot-long, 5- 

foot-high mass concrete diversion 

structure on Salmon Creek located about 

0.4 miles upstream of its confluence 

with the NFKR, which includes two 

drain gates directing water to the creek 

and a third gate conveying water to a 

diversion pipe; (6) a 226-foot-long, 26- 

inch-diameter steel pipe delivering 

water to the project’s conveyance 

system; (7) a 43-foot-long, 8-foot-high 

mass concrete diversion structure on 

Corral Creek located about 1.1 miles 

upstream of its confluence with the 

NFKR, which includes a 17-foot-wide 

spillway notch on top; an 8-inch slide 

gate to pass natural flows downstream 

when not diverting; and a pipe with 

interchangeable fixed-orifice plates to 

deliver water for minimum instream 

flows and to the diversion pipe; (8) a 

904-foot-long, 14-inch- and 11-inchdiameter steel pipe delivering water to 

the project’s conveyance system; (9) two 

flowline intake gates conveying water to 

an approximately 13-mile-long, 620-cfs 

capacity water conveyance system 

located along the eastern hillslope above 

the NFKR that is comprised of: (a) a 449- 

foot-long sandbox to trap sediment 

before water is directed to the flowline; 

(b) a buried flowline consisting of 24, 8- 

foot-high, 8.5- to 9.5-foot-wide concretelined tunnel segments totaling 60,270 

feet long; (c) 4,600 feet of 8.5-foot-high, 

8.25-foot-wide, above-ground concrete 

flumes between each tunnel segment; 

(d) the Cannell Creek siphon and 

spillway consisting of a 1,146-foot-long, 

steel pipe and a 515-foot-long spillway 

conveying excess water in the flowline 

to Cannell Creek during unplanned 

outages or paused generation; (e) a 

1,100-foot-long, 9.5-foot-diameter 

concrete pressure flume pipe; (f) two 24- 

inch slide gates between the flume and 

forebay controlling flow to the 

penstocks; (g) a 61-foot-long, 20-footwide, 30-foot-high concrete box forebay 

with a 2,700-foot-long spillway to the 

NFKR; and (h) two 2,500-foot-long steel 

penstocks extending from the forebay to 

the powerhouse; (10) an 130-foot-long, 

88-foot-wide concrete powerhouse 

containing two Francis reaction-type 

turbines and two generator units with 

installed capacities of 20.5 and 19.7 

megawatts; (7) a 90-foot-long, 20-footwide concrete wing wall attached to the 

powerhouse serving as a tailrace that 

discharges all diverted water to the 

NFKR; (11) two communication lines 

totaling 2.5 miles long; (12) 33 project 

roads totaling about 18.4 miles; (13) an 

approximately 3.4-acre recreation 

facility downstream of the powerhouse 

with parking and a boat launch; and (14) 

appurtenant facilities. The estimated 

average annual generation (1997–2023) 

is 118,497 megawatt-hours. 

SCE proposes to continue operating 

the KR3 Project in run-of-river mode 

with minor adjustments to the FERC 

project boundary and operation and 

maintenance activities in response to 

implementing proposed environmental 

measures. No new project facilities are 

proposed.

Agreement with the Commission by the 

end of 2024. On December 2, 2024, 

Oswego Hydro filed an update on the 

settlement negotiations, stating that fish 

passage discussions have been 

productive and that it now expects to
