12. Description of Proceeding: On June 16, 2014, and supplemented on September 9, 2014, San Diego County Water Authority filed an application stating that due to reconfigurations in the exemptee's water supply system that decreased the pressure gradient, the project has been offline since May 2002.

Therefore, exemptee requests to surrender the exemption for the Miramar Project.
