    k. Project Description: The existing Kerckhoff Hydroelectric
Project consists of: (1) a 175-acre, 3-mile-long impoundment at normal
full pond elevation 985.0 feet; (2) a 114.5-foot-high, 507-foot-long
concrete arch dam with a spillway crest of 91 feet that includes: (a)
Fourteen 14.3-foot-high by 20-foot-wide radial gates, and (b) three 72-
inch-diameter low-level outlet pipes at an elevation of 897.0 feet,
with a maximum combined discharge capacity of 3,900 cubic feet per
second; (3) a 75-foot-long, 18-inch-diameter instream flow pipe; (4)
two powerhouse facilities (Kerckhoff 1 and Kerckhoff 2); and (5)
appurtenant facilities.
    The Project's Kerckhoff 1 (K1) powerhouse and associated facilities
include: (1) A 73.3-foot-high, 29.5-foot by 26-foot-wide reinforced
concrete intake structure located in Kerckhoff Reservoir; (2) a 16,913-
foot-long, 17-foot-wide by 17-foot-high unlined tunnel; (3) two
approximately 120-foot-long, 20-foot in cross section adits; (4)

one approximately 507.8-foot-long, 16- to-18-foot in cross section
adit; (5) a 75-foot-high, unlined vertical shaft surge chamber with a
40-foot maximum diameter lower section and 17-foot maximum diameter
upper section; (6) one 913-foot-long, 84- to- 90-inch-diameter steel
penstock; (7) one 946-foot-long, 84- to- 90-inch-diameter steel
penstock; (8) an approximately 45-foot-wide by 99-foot-long reinforced
concrete powerhouse containing three vertical reaction-type Francis
turbine units; and (9) appurtenant facilities. The project's K1
transmission facilities include: (1) A switchyard located on a steep
hillside immediately behind the powerhouse; (2) two transformer banks
consisting of one, three-phase and seven, single-phase 6.6/115-kilovolt
(kV) transformers; and (3) three, 115-kV circuit breakers. Three sets
of non-project 115-kV transmission lines exit the switchyard.
    K1 Powerhouse Unit No. 2 is not operational and was removed from
the current project license in 2013. K1 Powerhouse Units No. 1 and No.
3 are rated at 11.36 megawatts (MW) each for an authorized installed
capacity of 22.72 MW; however, both units have not operated since 2018.
The three adits were sealed with concrete walls about 200 feet from
their entrances, effectively eliminating access to the adits and to the
tunnel via the adits. K1 penstock No. 2 is no longer operational; it
was abandoned in place and removed from the current project license in
2013. PG&E permanently closed and sealed the main shutoff and bypass
valves at K1 penstock No. 2, removed an approximately 12-foot-long
section of the penstock immediately downstream of the shutoff valve,
removed exposed air valves and cap, and permanently closed the turbine
shutoff valve.
    The Project's Kerckhoff 2 (K2) powerhouse and associated facilities
include: (1) A 63-foot-high, 43-foot by 52-foot-wide reinforced
concrete intake structure located in Kerckhoff Reservoir; (2) a 21,632-
foot-long, 24-foot-diameter unlined tunnel; (3) an 8-foot-diameter adit
tunnel; (4) a 216.8-foot-high, vertical shaft surge chamber composed of
a 20-foot-diameter lower section, a 71-foot-diameter middle section,
and a 110-foot-diameter upper section, capped at the surface by a 34-
foot-high, 111.5-foot-diameter above-ground steel surge tank; (5) one
approximately 1,013-foot-long penstock composed of three sections: (a)
A 481-foot-long, 20-foot-diameter concrete-lined upper section; (b) a
338-foot-long, 18-foot-diameter concrete-lined middle section; and (c)
a 194-foot-long, 15-foot-diameter steel-lined lower section; (6) an
approximately 85-foot-diameter, 124-foot-high three-floor (basement
floor, turbine floor, and generator floor) underground powerhouse
chamber containing one vertical shaft, Francis-type turbine rated at
140 MW; (7) an approximately 531-foot-long, 25-foot-diameter concrete-
lined discharge tunnel, with two 19-foot-high, 13-foot-wide gates; (8)
a 40-foot-wide open tailrace channel; and (9) appurtenant facilities.
The project's K2 transmission facilities include: (1) An approximately
152-foot-wide by 177-foot-long switchyard located at ground level
immediately above the underground powerhouse; (2) a transformer; and
(3) four, 115-kV circuit breakers. Two sets of non-project 115-kV
transmission lines exit the switchyard. From 1984 to 2019, with both
powerhouses in operation, average annual generation was approximately
471,424 megawatt-hours.
    PG&E operates the project for power generation, making use of
available flows from upstream hydroelectric projects. The project
operates in a run-of-river mode because of the project reservoir's
limited storage capacity. Water used by the project for power
generation is released back into the San Joaquin River and flows into
Millerton Lake, a United States Bureau of Reclamation facility, located
immediately downstream of the K2 Powerhouse.
    The San Joaquin River basin upstream of the project is extensively
developed for hydroelectric power generation, which influences the
timing and magnitude of inflows into the project. Current operational
requirements include flow requirements to protect American shad and
water temperature requirements to protect smallmouth bass. PG&E is
required to discharge a minimum flow of 25 cubic feet per second (cfs)
downstream of Kerckhoff Dam during Normal water years and a minimum
flow of 15 cfs during Dry water years. Minimum flows are temporarily
modified in response to operating emergencies and for fishery
management purposes upon agreement between PG&E and the California
Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW). Additional releases can be
determined necessary by CDFW to maintain stream temperatures and to
flush sediments in the streambed below Kerckhoff Dam. Kerckhoff
Reservoir has an estimated capacity of 2,434 acre-feet of usable
capacity at normal maximum water surface elevation and is generally
operated as a forebay with no seasonal targets, therefore maintaining
storage relatively constant at near full pool. Although, operational
limitations of the K2 Powerhouse result in an operational storage of
the reservoir of 692 acre-feet. PG&E has primarily operated the K1
Powerhouse only when the K2 Powerhouse is offline, at capacity, or
during the American shad spawning releases; although, the K1 Powerhouse
has not been operational since 2018. The K2 Powerhouse has a rough
operating zone that occurs during flows of approximately 1,750 cfs to
3,200 cfs that generate 45--92 MW. To manage the rough operating zone,
PG&E does not allow the unit to linger in the 45--92 MW range. Instead,
the K2 Powerhouse operates above or below the range, in order to avoid
damaging equipment. Further, the K2 Powerhouse cannot operate with
flows less than approximately 580 cfs.
    PG&E proposes to modify the existing project boundary to encompass
all facilities necessary for operation and maintenance of the project.
PG&E proposes to adjust the boundary around Kerckhoff Reservoir,
Smalley Cove Recreation Area and the adjacent dispersed day use area,
the K1 and K2 developments, the fiber optics and 12-kV distribution
lines running from the K2 Switchyard to a non-project substation, and
gaging stations and associated facilities. PG&E also proposes to
eliminate a shared public access road from the project boundary. With
these proposed changes, the area of PG&E-owned land within the project
boundary will decrease to 122.8 acres, and federal lands will decrease
to 114.4 acres. The area of private lands encompassed by the project
boundary will increase to 54.2 acres.
    PG&E also proposes to retire the K1 Powerhouse by making certain
facilities, including turbine-related facilities, Adits 1 and 2, surge
chamber, penstocks, and headworks, inoperable. However, PG&E proposes
to retain: (1) the K1 intake structure, tunnel, and North Adit to
continue providing instream flow releases, (2) the K1 Powerhouse
building for operations support, and (3) the K1 switchyard because it
is part of the electric transmission system.
    PG&E further proposes the following plans and measures to protect
and enhance environmental resources: (1) American Shad Spawning Season
Flow Release Regime; (2) Aquatic Resources Plan; (3) Wildlife
Management Plan; (4) Vegetation Management and Pest Control Plan; (5)
Project Road and Trail Maintenance Plan; (6) Recreation Management
Plan; (7) Whitewater Recreation Flow Release Measure; and (8) Historic
Properties Management Plan.

1 UNITED STATES ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY WASHINGTON, D. C. 20460 OFFICE OF PREVENTION, PESTICIDES AND TOXIC SUBSTANCES MEMORANDUM SUBJECT: Clarification of Response to Valent Comments from Memorandum February3 2004 TO: Mike Mendelsohn Regulatory Action Leader Microbial Pesticides Branch, Biopesticides and Pollution Prevention Division ( 7511C)

FROM: John L. Kough, Ph. D., Biologist Microbial Pesticides Branch, Biopesticides and Pollution Prevention Division ( 7511C)

ACTION REQUESTED: The statement in the February 3, 2004 memorandumfound below about the Ft. Meade EPA laboratory validation of the ELISA method for detecting Cry3Bb1 was confusing. This is intended to clarify the statement and further address the concern stated in Valent Corporation's comments about the analytical method for Cry3Bb1 not being able to distinguish between the natural and engineered variant. The implication is that crops treated with microbial Bacillus thuringiensis based products expressing the natural Cry3B   endotoxin could be mistaken for genetically engineered contamination perhaps jeopardizing organic certification.

The original statement in the February memorandum reads as follows:

The results of the ELISA assay for detection of the Cry3Bb1 variant protein expressed in corn indicate that the test does detect the Cry3Bb1 protein in corn grain with acceptable variation and sensitivity. However, the acceptance of the ELISA test as a valid analytical method is contingent on the further testing of the method by an independent laboratory as well as confirmation of the test by the EPA laboratory at Ft. Meade. During this further validation process, the issue of specificity of the reagents for the Cry3Bb1 variant protein compared to other proteins that may be present in commerce needs to be addressed. 2 While the validation process will continue with verification of assay performance by the Ft. Mead laboratory, the ELISA assay is accepted as an analytical method by the Agency. The potential cross recognition by the immunological reagents will be addressed during this process. However, there are other features of the assay procedures that could lessen the likelihood of recognizing a microbial source of Cry3Bb1

 endotoxin. The microbial B. thuringiensis products are known to be rapidly weathered away by environmental conditions like rain and UV radiation lessening the possibility of a microbial product being present. In addition, if a positive result was obtained for the presence of Cry3Bb1 protein in an unexpected source, the test could be confirmed by washing the suspect crop then retesting. Any surface contamination by residues from treatment with a B. thuringiensis product would be removed. Any subsequent positive finding should be a true Cry3Bb1 detection since it would represent an internal tissue detection which could be reasonably assumed to result only from plant expression of the Cry3Bb1 gene.
