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: Southern California Edison Company
(licensee or SCE) is requesting to surrender its license for the Borel
Hydroelectric Project and the disposition of all Borel Project
facilities (i.e., removal, modification, or abandonment in place). SCE
is surrendering the Borel Project license because the U.S. Army Corps
of Engineers (Corps) implemented a safety modification to its Lake
Isabella Auxiliary Dam for which the Corps condemned 10.7 acres of
private and public land associated with the Borel Project and sealed
off the existing section of conduit through the Auxiliary Dam by
filling it with concrete and abandoning the conduit in place. This
action rendered the Borel Project nonfunctional and therefore SCE is
seeking to surrender the Project license.
