Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 206 / Friday, October 24, 2014 / Notices 63611 

obtain legal status by becoming a party 

to the proceedings for this project 

should, on or before the comment date 

stated below file with the Federal 

Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 

First Street NE., Washington, DC 20426, 

a motion to intervene in accordance 

with the requirements of the 

Commission’s Rules of Practice and 

Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or 385.211) 

and the Regulations under the NGA (18 

CFR 157.10). A person obtaining party 

status will be placed on the service list 

maintained by the Secretary of the 

Commission and will receive copies of 

all documents filed by the applicant and 

by all other parties. A party must submit 

seven copies of filings made in the 

proceeding with the Commission and 

must mail a copy to the applicant and 

to every other party. Only parties to the 

proceeding can ask for court review of 

Commission orders in the proceeding. 

However, a person does not have to 

intervene in order to have comments 

considered. The second way to 

participate is by filing with the 

Secretary of the Commission, as soon as 

possible, an original and two copies of 

comments in support of or in opposition 

to this project. The Commission will 

consider these comments in 

determining the appropriate action to be 

taken, but the filing of a comment alone 

will not serve to make the filer a party 

to the proceeding. The Commission’s 

rules require that persons filing 

comments in opposition to the project 

provide copies of their protests only to 

the party or parties directly involved in 

the protest. 

Persons who wish to comment only 

on the environmental review of this 

project should submit an original and 

two copies of their comments to the 

Secretary of the Commission. 

Environmental commenters will be 

placed on the Commission’s 

environmental mailing list, will receive 

copies of the environmental documents, 

and will be notified of meetings 

associated with the Commission’s 

environmental review process. 

Environmental commenters will not be 

required to serve copies of filed 

documents on all other parties. 

However, the non-party commenters 

will not receive copies of all documents 

filed by other parties or issued by the 

Commission (except for the mailing of 

environmental documents issued by the 

Commission) and will not have the right 

to seek court review of the 

Commission’s final order. 

The Commission strongly encourages 

electronic filings of comments, protests 

and interventions in lieu of paper using 

the ‘‘eFiling’’ link at http://

www.ferc.gov. Persons unable to file 

electronically should submit an original 

and 5 copies of the protest or 

intervention to the Federal Energy 

Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street 

NE., Washington, DC 20426.

Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street 

NE., Washington, DC 20426. 

The Commission’s Rules of Practice 

and Procedures require all intervenors 

filing documents with the Commission 

to serve a copy of that document on 

each person 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. 

k. This application has been accepted 

for filing and is now ready for 

environmental analysis. 

l. The proposed project facilities 

include: (1) A new 109-foot-high roller 

compacted concrete dam and spillway 

creating a new 4.5-mile-long reservoir 

with a gross storage capacity of 12,467 

acre feet; (2) a 48-foot-long, 16-footwide, and 20-foot-high concrete intake 

structure near the upstream toe of the 

dam; (3) a 14-foot-diameter, 600-footlong steel penstock; (3) an 80-foot-long, 

52-foot-wide, and 24-foot-high 

powerhouse containing two, 5-megawatt 

vertical Francis turbines with a 

combined maximum hydraulic capacity 

of 1,400 cubic feet per second (cfs); (4) 

a 0.74-mile, 46-kilovolt transmission 

line connecting a proposed substation 

near the base of the powerhouse to an 

existing, PacifiCorp-owned transmission 

line; and (5) appurtenant facilities. 

Except for irrigation withdrawals 

during dry years, Twin Lakes proposes 

to operate in the project run-of-river, 

with daily releases from the new 

reservoir matching releases from the 

upstream Oneida Project (FERC No. 20). 

During dry water years, Twin Lakes 

proposes to release additional water for 

irrigation purposes but maintain a 

minimum flow downstream of the 

proposed project equal to the minimum 

flow requirement at the upstream 

Oneida Project (a year-round minimum 

flow of 250 cfs plus 1 cfs for leakage or 

inflow into Oneida reservoir, whichever 

is less). Twin Lakes estimates that the 

average annual generation would be 

about 48,531 megawatt-hours.
