Letter:

Commission Joseph T. Kelliher
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
888 First Street, NE
Washington, DC, 20426
Subject: Unnecessary LEAPS Project at Lake Elsinore
Dear Commissioner Kelliher
As commissioner of the Fedaral Energy Regulatory Commission, I want to encourage you to oppose the Lake Elsinore Advanced Pump Storage (LEAPS) project in Riverside County California. The project will not produce any additional electricity and will cause the following irreversible and high risk impacts.
. Destruction of two pristine canyons on the Cleveland National Forest
. High fire risks from high voltage power transmission lines and unacceptable danger to firefighters working near them. Eight firefighters died in Decker Canyon in August 1959 in the area proposed for the transmission line.
. High cost, to meet earthquake standards, of building power equipment at the base of the mountain located in the Elsinore Fault line.
. Detrioration of Lake Elsinore's shoreline, with daily water level fluctuations.
. Reduced open space and hiking for more than 3 million people, who live within an hour's drive of those canyons.
. Omission of energy conservation as a policy and public campaign to reduce peak power demand.
. Negative economic projections, with unreasonably high energy rate projections and long payback period.
These costs and impacts are far too high, to justify the destruction of some of the most natural and beautiful lands enjoyed by the 19 million people in southern California so that a few investors can profit and a few businesses and individuals can pay less for peak power
Sincerely,
Anne Fege
ANNE S. Fege, Ph D
And Retired Forest Supervisor. Cleveland National Forest.

EM1, has collected documentation on the LEAPS Project . And are attempting to summarize thier opinion on the actions/manner EVMWD are spending the Public Funds on the LEAPS Project to Nevada Hydro.
Fact 1- EVMWD have spent more than $2 million dollars of ratepayers/taxpayers public funds. According to documents, public funds have been allocated/spent subsidizing Nevada Hydro's income from the public funds, without budgeting for such funds from a period beginning about 1993,1997 to present.
Fact 2- Nevada Hydro has not paid any of the public funds back as of this date . EVMWD HAVE NOT TAKEN ANY STRONG ACTIONS AGANIST NEVADA HYDRO IN AN EFFORT OF GETTING THE FUNDS BACK UP TO NOW. They continue to send billings to Nevada Hydro with due dates but EVMWD just keeping on trucking, extorting and raping the ratepayers/taxpayers funds to Nevada Hydro in which no other income coming in to Nevada Hydro is found.
Fact 3- EVMWD are using the ratepayers/taxpayers funds in distribution to paying Nevada Hydro's individual billings as follows:

Total: $1,410,750.66. All above are taken from EVMWD OWN DOCUMENTS. In reviewing from EVMWD''s documents it appears that multiple company billings to EVMWD ARE ON THE SAME INVOICE. Each company, service or enitity should have its separate invoice for their records when dealing with other enitities . All request for billing breakdown on each of the separate billings as to what service, work or operation was performed for the pay have been ignored, avoided, or not given. Chris Hyland spent most of her tenure years fighting aganist funds beinf paid to Nevada Hydro. Mrs. Hyland also do not believe it is a viable project in the best interest for the community, and that the LEAPS Project will not provide any or enough service directly to the ratepayers. The electrical service would be mainly for the San Diego and other areas. Mrs. Hyland is also the first to step up to the plate voluntarily to pay back the overpaid D ays of Service. The other majority Board Members had to be forced by by an audit they obviously controlled. No releases have been found on the status of the other Board Members having paid any of the overpaid Days of Service back they themselves approved to do so. Even so the majotity never approved paying back overpaid funds from 2001 and 2002 and only parts of 2003 & 2004. Fact, Chris Hyland, Never took any money she did not earn.!!!
RECIEPE FOR RATEPAYERS.....
In view of the above documented information EM1/EM2 strongly urge EVMWD's ratepayers to form a committee . Open their wallats wide. Collect funds collectivly, hire an attorney outside of Riverside County far away . From all APPEARANCES, a strong Civil Case Exist for holding all the self serving leaders accountable in recouping the public funds. There are about 38,000 EVMWD RATEPAYERS, just $25.00 each from a fraction of the 38,000 should raise enough funds to hire the best Civil attorney for a case to go after the bastards who are obviously extorting and ripping of the ratepayer/taxpayers. Waht ever is done must be very,very prudently planned. The ratepayers are dealing with slimmie, slippery, conterfiet, lying, slick self serving, unprofessional unleadership, doing unhandedness behind the scenes in the name of closed sessions and ad hoc meetings. They are meeting with Nevada Hydro a private corporation out of the public's view. EVMWD a public agency.
You have the Public Records Act, the Fredom of information Act, and the recently Amended State of California Constitution Prop 59 by which to obtain any public records from EVMWD.
