Becoming an Intervenor 

Once Downeast Liquefaction files its 

application with the Commission, you 

may want to become an ‘‘intervenor’’ 

which is an official party to the 

Commission’s proceeding. Intervenors 

play a more formal role in the process 

and are able to file briefs, appear at 

hearings, and be heard by the courts if 

they choose to appeal the Commission’s 

final ruling. An intervenor formally 

participates in the proceeding by filing 

a request to intervene. Instructions for 

becoming an intervenor are in the User’s 

Guide under the ‘‘e-filing’’ link on the 

Commission’s Web site. Please note that 

the Commission will not accept requests 

for intervenor status at this time. You 

must wait until the Commission 

receives a formal application for the 

project.

Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Project No. 14642–000] 

San Diego County Water Authority; 

Notice of Preliminary Permit 

Application Accepted for Filing and 

Soliciting Comments, Motions To 

Intervene, and Competing Applications 

On October 16, 2014, the San Diego 

County Water Authority, California, 

filed an application for a preliminary 

permit, pursuant to section 4(f) of the 

Federal Power Act (FPA), proposing to 

study the feasibility of the San Vicente 

Pumped Storage Project (Project) to be 

located at San Vicente reservoir, in 

Lakeside, California. The sole purpose 

of a preliminary permit, if issued, is to 

grant the permit holder priority to file 

a license application during the permit 

term. A preliminary permit does not 

authorize the permit holder to perform 

any land-disturbing activities or 

otherwise enter upon lands or waters 

owned by others without the owners’ 

express permission. 

The lower reservoir portion of the 

proposed project would consist of the 

following: (1) The existing San Vicente 

reservoir with a storage capacity of 

246,000 acre-feet and a surface area of 

1,600 acres at a normal maximum 

operating elevation of 766 feet above 

mean sea level (msl); (2) the existing 

1,430-foot-long, 337-foot-high San 

Vicente roller compacted concrete (RCC) 

gravity dam; (3) a lower reservoir inlet/ 

outlet structure equipped with trash 

racks and one or two slide gates; (4) a 

230-kilovolt (kV) substation containing 

step-up transformers, circuit breakers, 

and disconnect switches; (5) a 

switchyard constructed at the point of 

interconnection; (6) an approximately 5- 

mile-long, 230-kV overhead or 

underground transmission line that 

would extend from the northern end of 

San Vicente reservoir to the 230-kV 

Sycamore substation and interconnect 

with San Diego Gas and Electric’s 500- 

kV Sunrise Powerlink; and (7) 

appurtenant facilities. 

The upper reservoir portion of the 

proposed project would include one of 

the following four alternatives. 

Alternative A—Iron Mountain 

Alternative Site A, located near Iron 

Mountain, approximately 3 miles 

northwest of the San Vicente reservoir, 

would consist of: (1) A reservoir with a

surface area of 93 acres at a full pond 

elevation of 2,110 feet msl; (2) three 

RCC saddle dams measuring 

respectively: (i) 1,425 feet long and 35 

feet high, (ii) 1,340 feet long and 75 feet 

high, and (iii) 838 feet long and 15 feet 

high; (3) a 235-foot-long, 85-foot wide, 

131-foot-tall subsurface powerhouse

tailrace tunnel; (5) an upper reservoir 

inlet/outlet structure; (6) two 171-footlong, 16-foot-diameter steel-lined 

penstocks; (7) a 1,350-foot-long, 230-kV, 

underground transmission line 

extending from the upper reservoir to 

the northern end of San Vicente 

reservoir; and (8) appurtenant facilities. 

This alternative would annually 

generate an estimated 1,022 gigawatthours (GWh). 

Alternative B—Foster Canyon 

Alternative Site B, located near Foster 

Canyon, approximately one-half mile 

northwest of the San Vicente reservoir, 

would consist of: (1) A reservoir with a 

storage capacity of 7,800 acre-feet and a 

surface area of 100 acres at a full pond 

elevation of 1,490 feet msl; (2) five RCC 

saddle dams measuring, respectively: (i) 

1,760 feet long and 160 feet high, (ii) 

838 feet long and 80 feet high, (iii) 838 

feet long and 80 feet high, (iv) 1,006 feet 

long and 240 feet high, and (v) 3,100 

feet long and 30 feet high; (3) a 235-footlong, 88-foot-wide, 147-foot-tall

would annually generate an estimated 

1,022 GWh. 

Alternative Site C—Northeast 

Alternative Site C, located 0.8 mile 

northeast of the San Vicente reservoir, 

would consist of: (1) A reservoir with a 

storage capacity of 7,700 acre-feet and a 

surface area of 60 acres at a full pond 

elevation of 1,600 feet msl; (2) four RCC 

saddle dams measuring, respectively: (i) 

1,176 feet long and 260 feet high, 

(ii)1,508 feet long and 20 feet high, (iii)
