    All documents (original and eight copies) should be filed with: 
Magalie R. Salas, Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 
First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426.
    The Commission's Rules of Practice 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.
    Comments, recommendations, terms and conditions, and prescriptions

(http://www.ferc.gov) under the ``e-filing'' link.
    k. This application has been accepted for filing and is now ready 
for environmental analysis.
    l. The Santa Felicia Project is operated as a flood control dam 
during the winter with a primary purpose of storing water to recharge 
alluvium aquifers downstream of the project. Typically, the project 
acts as a hydroelectric project only during the conservation releases 
that serve to recharge the aquifers, normally a period of approximately 
50 days during September and October. Power is also generated in 
anticipation of or during reservoir spill periods. The existing Santa 
Felicia Project consists of (1) A 200-foot-tall, 1,260-foot-long earth-
fill dam; (2) an 87,187 acre-foot reservoir with a useable storage 
capacity of 67,669 acre-feet; (3) an ungated spillway and associated 
works; (4) a powerhouse with two units having a total installed 
capacity of 1,434-kilowatts; and (5) appurtenant facilities. The Santa 
Felicia powerhouse is operated manually.
    m. A copy of the application is available for review at the 
Commission in the Public Reference Room or may be viewed on the 
Commission's Web site at http://www.ferc.gov using the ``eLibrary''
