k. Description of Request: The Kings River Conservation District
(KRCD), filed an application for a non-capacity amendment of the
license to add a 6.3 megawatt generating unit. The existing project
license authorizes the KRCD to utilize three penstocks installed in the
U.S. Army Core of Engineers, Pine Flat Dam. The Jeff L. Taylor
Powerhouse, located at the toe of the dam, contains three 55 MW Francis
turbines, and generates electricity with run of the river flows ranging
from 500 to 8,000 cubic feet per second (cfs). To maintain downstream
cold water flows, a non-project bypass system releases 900 cfs when the
penstocks are not open. KRCD proposes to add an additional generating
unit to the bypass system that would increase generation capacity from
165 MW by 3.8% to a total of 171.3 MW. This generator would allow for
power generation at flows below 500 cfs.
l. Locations of the Application: This filing may be viewed on the
Commission's website at <a href="http://www.ferc.gov">http://www.ferc.gov</a> using the ``eLibrary''
