  • Start Preamble

    Take notice that on June 3, 2020, pursuant to Rule 207 of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure, 18 CFR 385.207(2019), Pine Creek Mine, LLC (PCM or Petitioner), filed a petition for declaratory order (Petition) requesting that the Commission issue a declaratory order finding that the California State Water Resources Control Board has waived its authority to issue a certification for the Pine Creek Mine Tunnel Hydroelectric Project under section 401 of the Clean Water Act, 33 U.S.C. 1341(a)(1), as more fully explained in the petition.

    Any person desiring to intervene or to protest this filing must file in accordance with Rules 211 and 214 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.211, 385.214). Protests will be considered by the Commission in determining the appropriate action to be taken, but will not serve to make protestants parties to the proceeding. Any person wishing to become a party must file a notice of intervention or motion to intervene, as appropriate. Such notices, motions, or protests must be filed on or before the comment date. Anyone filing a motion to intervene or protest must serve a copy of that document on the Petitioner.

    Any person wishing to comment on PCM's petition may do so.[1] The deadline for filing comments is 30 days from the issuance of this notice.

    Footnotes

    1.  PCM's request is part of its licensing proceeding in Project No. 12532-006. Thus, any person that intervened in the relicensing proceeding is already a party. Generally, the filing of a petition for a declaratory order involving an issue arising from the relicensing proceeding does not trigger a new opportunity to intervene. Accordingly, at this point in this proceeding, any person seeking to become a party to the proceeding must file a motion to intervene out-of-time pursuant to Rule 214(b)(3) and (d) of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedures that provides justification by reference to the factors set forth in Rule 214(d). The Commission may limit a late intervenor's participation to the issues raised in the petition for declaratory order. 18 CFR 385.214(d)(3)(i).
