Regulatory Filings - On March 18, 2010, in accordance with KHSA Sections 4.1.1 and 7.3.9, PacifiCorp filed its Economic Analysis and requested the California and Oregon Public Utility Commissions establish customer surcharges to collect the customer contribution towards dam removal costs and adjust the depreciation schedule for the Klamath hydroelectric facilities in contemplation of their potential removal in 2020. On September 16, 2010, the Oregon Public Utility Commission (OPUC) issued a final order affirming the dam removal surcharges for Oregon customers and a depreciation schedule for the facilities that provides for removal in 2020. The OPUC order is available at http://apps.puc.state.or.us/orders/2010ords/10-364.pdf. The Oregon customer surcharge of $172 million over ten years will provide approximately $184 million in funding for dam removal in 2020. On February 22, 2011 the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) issued a proposed decision affirming surcharges for Pacif

This document presents the current status of water quality studies and pilot projects now underway pursuant to Interim Measure 11 of the Klamath Hydroelectric Settlement Agreement (KHSA). Interim Measure 11 is intended to improve water quality in the Klamath River during the interim period leading up to dam removal under the KHSA. The emphasis of Interim Measure 11 is nutrient reduction projects to provide benefits to the mainstem Klamath River that will benefit environmental resources following potential dam removal, while also addressing water quality, algal and public health issues in reservoirs of the Klamath Hydroelectric Project and dissolved oxygen in J.C. Boyle reservoir. PacifiCorp worked with representatives of the KHSA Interim Measures Implementation Committee (IMIC) to develop study plans for six studies and pilot projects to be implemented prior to the Secretarial Determination with funding provided by PacifiCorp. These study plans were finalized in October 2010. The six s

Final Study Plan, Part 2Klamath Hydroelectric Settlement Agreement • August 21st, 2018
The Klamath Hydroelectric Settlement Agreement (KHSA; as amended on April 6, 2016) includes Interim Measure 11 (Interim Water Quality Improvements), which is intended to address water quality improvement in the Klamath River during the interim period leading up to potential dam removal. Regarding Interim Measure (IM) 11, the KHSA states “The emphasis of this measure shall be nutrient reduction projects in the watershed to provide water quality improvements in the mainstem Klamath River, while also addressing water quality, algal and public health issues in Project reservoirs and dissolved oxygen in J.C. Boyle Reservoir.” The measure calls for PacifiCorp to spend up to $250,000 per year1 for studies or pilot projects in consultation with the Interim Measures Implementation Committee2 (IMIC). PacifiCorp submitted Part 1 of the IM 11 study plan in February 20183. Part 1 included a discussion of three studies:
