Hydroelectric Project, which would be located near the town of Big Pine 
on the Owens River at the existing Tinemaha Reservoir in Inyo County, 
California.
    The proposed Tinemaha Hydroelectric Project would include an 
existing dam owned by the LADWP, and its existing impoundment, Tinemaha 
Reservoir, which has a surface area of 2,098 acres at an elevation of 
3,873.5 feet above mean sea level. The proposed project would also

with a total installed capacity of 1.2 MW, (3) a 1-mile-long, 34.5 kV 
transmission line, connecting to an existing power line, and (4)

5 GWh, which would be sold to a local utility.
