    k. Description of Project: The proposed Riverton Water Supply 
System (RWSS) would consist of a river intake and pump station on the 
South Fork of the American River near Riverton and a 30-inch-diameter, 
2000-foot-long, buried pipeline extending from the pump station to an 
existing undamaged portion of the El Dorado canal.
    Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) proposes to construct and 
operate the RWSS project in order to restore water delivery to the El 
Dorado Irrigation District (EID). Severe flood damage to the El Dorado 
Project in late 1996 and early 1997 interrupted that delivery. The 
proposed facilities would discharge about 40 cubic feet per second of 
water into the canal, from which water would be delivered to EID as it 
had been before the flood damage. PG&E's proposal includes a 
contingency plan to install a temporary intake and above-ground 
pipeline to provide an emergency water supply, if necessitated by 
drought conditions prior to completion of the permanent facilities.
    l. This notice also consists of the following standard paragraphs: 
B, C1, and D2.
    B. Comments, Protests, or Motions to Intervene--Anyone may submit 
comments, a protest, or a motion to intervene in accordance with the

will consider all protests or other comments filed, but only those who 
file a motion to intervene in accordance with the Commission's Rules 
may become a party to the proceeding. Any comments, protests, or
