any other carrier must be addressed to: Kimberly D. Bose, Secretary,

The Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure require all
intervenors filing documents with the Commission to serve a copy of
that document on each person whose name appears 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

k. Description of Request: PacifiCorp proposes to amend the project
license to construct, operate, and maintain new pumped storage
facilities connecting the existing Toketee and Fish Creek developments.
The new infrastructure will include a pump with an approximately 969-
foot-long, 48-inch conduit connecting the Toketee and Fish Creek
penstocks and spanning the North Umpqua River. PacifiCorp states that
the new infrastructure will create a pump storage system utilizing the
Toketee Reservoir as the source of water and the existing Fish Creek
forebay as the upper storage reservoir. PacifiCorp states the upgrade
is not expected to increase the total installed capacity of the
Project. It will use the existing 11-megawatt Fish Creek Powerhouse for
pumped storage generation.
