Box 1247, Ukiah, CA 95482 (707)391-7574;iwpc@mendoiwpc.com July 31, 2018 Mr. Steve Malnight SeniorVice President, Strategy and Policy Pacific Gas and Electric Company 77 Beale Street, San Francisco, CA 94105 Dear Mr. Malnight, The Mendocino County Inland Water and Power Commission (MCIWPC), a Joint Powers Authority whose member agenciesinclude the Mendocino County Water Agency, City of Ukiah, Potter Valley Irrigation District, Redwood Valley County Water District and the Mendocino County Russian River Flood Control and Water Conservation Improvement District, wishes to formally begin adialog with Pacific Gas & Electric Company (PG&E) regarding transferring the Potter Valley Hydroelectric Project (Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) Project 77) to the MCIWPC as an alternative to the planned auction. We became aware of PG&E's final decision to auction the Potter Valley Project (Project) when a letter was written by Mr. David Moller, Director of Power Generation PG&E, to the Eel Russian River Commission (ERRC) dated May 10, 2018. Prior to that time PG&E had publically stated in a presentation to the ERRC on February 23, 2018, as well as in several of Congressman Jared Huffman's Potter Valley Project Ad Hoc Committeemeetings, that they were still considering several options regarding their continued involvement in the Project. Those options included continuing to own and operate the Project, auctioning the Project or transferring the Project to a local or regional entity. In the May 10th letter to the ERRC Mr. Moller reiterated that "PG&E is open to exploring with local, county and/or state governmental entitiesthat have an interest in the continued operation of the Project the possibility of transferring it to aregional entity as an alternative to the auction". MCIWPC has beenan intervener in all of the Project'sFERC license amendment proceedings since the early 1990s and, more recently, in the relicensing process. Our memberagencies are dependent upon the water supply that is provided by the Project'sdiversion into the EastBranch of the Russian River. The agricultural economy ofinlandMendocinoCounty, the water supply for the communities of Potter Valley, Redwood Valley,Calpella, Ukiah, Talmage, Hopland, Cloverdale, Geyserville, Healdsburg and others along the Russian River, as well aswater allocated to protect populations of listed species of fish under the Federal Endangered Species Act, are all relianton waterfrom the Project. 43 Page 2. July 31, 2018 We recognize that there are certain qualifications for a potential licensee that are required by FERC and the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC). We also understand that PG&E believes that their decision to no longer operate the Project is in the best interest of their electric customers and that they wish to proceed with a transfer of the license as quickly as reasonably possible. For these reasons we look forward to beginning a dialog with PG&E exploring the requirements of a new licensee with the goal of moving the process of a license transfer forward expeditiously.
