    The Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure require all 
interveners 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 intervener files comments or documents with the 
Commission relating to the merits of an issue that may affect the

a copy of the document on that resource agency.
    k. This application has been accepted for filing, but is not ready 
for environmental analysis at this time.
    l. The proposed 2.0-megawatt Inglis Hydropower Project would 
operate in a run-of-river mode by using flows released to maintain the

releases would be determined by the Southwest Florida Water Management 
District. The proposed powerhouse would be 60 feet long by 80 feet wide 
by 30 feet high, and contain three vertical shaft turbines. The 
penstock would be 130 feet in length. The project would generate about 
12,300,000 kilowatt hours annually, which would be fed into the 
interconnected transmission system via an existing 3.4-mile-long, 
12,470-kilovolt transmission line.
