The Commission's Rules of Practice require all intervenors filing

person on the official service list for the project. Further, if an

the merits of an issue that may affect the responsibilities of a

on that resource agency.

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''
