Compliance Proceeding
Elk Hills Power Plant Project
Docket Number: 99-AFC-1C
(Compliance Proceeding)
After a power plant is approved and licensed by the California Energy Commission, requested changes to the original license fall under what is called the "Compliance Proceeding" for that project. Most changes are relatively small and are listed on this page as either a notice or a document.
Occassionally, a major amendment to the license is requested by the owner. When this occurs, a new website section is created to handle the large amount of materials that are filed under a project's major amendment. We will also create a link from that major amendment page to the original docket proceeding page. Minor amendments and other regular compliance activities will still be listed on this compliance page of the original proceeding's website section.
