The first page of any filing should include docket number P-2100-180. Comments emailed to Commission staff are not considered part of the Commission record. k. Description of Request: Flood events in February 2017 caused extensive erosion to the service and emergency spillways at the Oroville Dam, part of the Feather River Hydroelectric Project. The area has been declared a federal major disaster. To protect public safety, DWR must restore project function before the wet season returns in late 2017. The erosion at the spillways compromised two towers supporting primary transmission lines. As part of DWR's broad emergency response and recovery efforts, DWR proposes to permanently relocate approximately two miles of the 230-kV transmission lines onto lands across the Feather River from the damaged spillways outside the current project boundary. The relocation would avoid future damage to the transmission lines, facilitate reconstruction of the spillways, and restore a reliable route for electricity to and from the dam's power plant. Given the urgent need to complete the recovery effort, Commission staff have accepted the May 17 filing as an application for a non-capacity amendment of the project license. On June 1, 2017, Commission staff issued a letter to DWR requesting additional information. l.
