DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Project No. 12532-006]
Pine Creek Mine, LLC; Notice of Petition for Declaratory Order
Take notice that on June 3, 2020, pursuant to Rule 207 of the
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure,
18 CFR 385.207(2019), Pine Creek Mine, LLC (PCM or Petitioner), filed a
petition for declaratory order (Petition) requesting that the
Commission issue a declaratory order finding that the California State
Water Resources Control Board has waived its authority to issue a
certification for the Pine Creek Mine Tunnel Hydroelectric Project
under section 401 of the Clean Water Act, 33 U.S.C. 1341(a)(1), as more
fully explained in the petition.
Any person desiring to intervene or to protest this filing must
file in accordance with Rules 211 and 214 of the Commission's Rules of
Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.211, 385.214). Protests will be
considered by the Commission in determining the appropriate action to
be taken, but will not serve to make protestants parties to the
proceeding. Any person wishing to become a party must file a notice of
intervention or motion to intervene, as appropriate. Such notices,
motions, or protests must be filed on or before the comment date.
Anyone filing a motion to intervene or protest must serve a copy of
that document on the Petitioner.
Any person wishing to comment on PCM's petition may do so.\1\ The
deadline for filing comments is 30 days from the issuance of this
notice. The Commission encourages electronic submission of comments in
lieu of paper using the ``eFiling'' link at http://www.ferc.gov.
Persons unable to file electronically should send comments to the
following address: Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First
Street NE, Washington, DC 20426. Hand delivered submissions in docketed
proceedings should be delivered to Health and Human Services, 12225
Wilkins Avenue, Rockville, Maryland 20852. Be sure to reference the
project docket number (P-12532-006) with your submission.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ PCM's request is part of its licensing proceeding in Project
No. 12532-006. Thus, any person that intervened in the relicensing
proceeding is already a party. Generally, the filing of a petition
for a declaratory order involving an issue arising from the
relicensing proceeding does not trigger a new opportunity to
intervene. Accordingly, at this point in this proceeding, any person
seeking to become a party to the proceeding must file a motion to
intervene out-of-time pursuant to Rule 214(b)(3) and (d) of the
Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedures that provides
justification by reference to the factors set forth in Rule 214(d).
The Commission may limit a late intervenor's participation to the
issues raised in the petition for declaratory order. 18 CFR
385.214(d)(3)(i).
