k. Description of Filing: The City of Bountiful, Utah, (City)
applied to amend the license of the Echo Project to include within the
project boundary an existing 18-mile-long transmission line extending
from the East Canyon Dam to Bountiful. The transmission line was
originally licensed as part of the East Canyon Project and was the only
feature of the East Canyon Project constructed. The 18-mile-long
transmission line is a part of the existing 30.5-mile-long transmission
line between the Echo Project and Bountiful.
The City also proposes not to construct the remaining project
features of the East Canyon Project and surrender the license. The East
Canyon Project is licensed to use the existing U.S. Bureau of
Reclamation's (Bureau) East Canyon Dam and Reservoir. The City reports
that in May 1988, the Bureau notified the City it would not permit the
construction of the hydroelectric project until certain dam safety
issues were resolved. The City states the Bureau has not fully resolved
the dam safety issues, to date. The City maintains that uncertainties
regarding the dam's stability make it difficult or impossible to secure
adequate financing to develop the project.
