Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Docket No. CD19–3–000] 

Upcountry LLC; Notice of Preliminary 

Determination of a Qualifying Conduit 

Hydropower Facility and Soliciting 

Comments and Motions To Intervene 

On December 20, 2018, the Upcountry 

LLC filed a notice of intent to construct 

a qualifying conduit hydropower 

facility, pursuant to section 30 of the 

Federal Power Act (FPA), as amended 

by section 4 of the Hydropower 

Regulatory Efficiency Act of 2013 

(HREA). The proposed Mill Pressure 

Reducing Device Project would have a 

total installed capacity up to 72 

kilowatts (kW), and would be located on 

the existing raw water supply pipeline. 

The project would be located near the 

City of Portland in Hood River County, 

Oregon. 

Applicant Contact: Jonathon Munk, 

Upcountry LLC, 1675 Country Club 

Road, Hood River, OR 97031, Phone No 

(503) 460–7220, email: jonmunk4@

Qualifying Conduit Hydropower 

Facility Description: The proposed 

project would consist of: (1) A 72-kW 

turbine-generator connected to an 

existing raw water supply pipeline and 

(2) appurtenant facilities. The proposed 

project would have an estimated annual 

generation of up to 630 megawatt-hours. 

A qualifying conduit hydropower 

facility is one that is determined or 

deemed to meet all of the criteria shown 

in the table below. 

TABLE 1—CRITERIA FOR QUALIFYING CONDUIT HYDROPOWER FACILITY

Statutory provision Description Satisfies 

(Y/N) 

FPA 30(a)(3)(A), as amended by HREA .. The conduit the facility uses is a tunnel, canal, pipeline, aqueduct, flume, ditch, or 

similar manmade water conveyance that is operated for the distribution of water 

for agricultural, municipal, or industrial consumption and not primarily for the generation of electricity.

Y 

FPA 30(a)(3)(C)(i), as amended by HREA The facility is constructed, operated, or maintained for the generation of electric 

power and uses for such generation only the hydroelectric potential of a non-federally owned conduit.

Y 

FPA 30(a)(3)(C)(ii), as amended by 

HREA.

The facility has an installed capacity that does not exceed 5 megawatts .................. Y 

FPA 30(a)(3)(C)(iii), as amended by 

HREA.

On or before August 9, 2013, the facility is not licensed, or exempted from the licensing requirements of Part I of the FPA.Y 

Preliminary Determination: The 

proposed Mill Pressure Reducing Device 

Project will not interfere with the 

primary purpose of the conduit, which 

is to transport water for irrigation by 

filling an equalizing reservoir, which in 

turn provides pressure for an irrigation 

zone in its service area. Therefore, based 

upon the above criteria, Commission 

staff preliminarily determines that the 

proposal satisfies the requirements for a 

qualifying conduit hydropower facility, 

which is not required to be licensed or 

exempted from licensing.

k. Description of Request: Lassen 

Research, exemptee for the Nikola I 

Powerhouse Project No. 5697, filed a 

request to surrender its exemption. The 

project consists of the existing Lower 

Boole Ditch Pipeline and a powerhouse 

containing one 35-kilowatt turbine 

generating unit. The project has not 

operated since approximately 2007 and 

has had issues maintaining power 

generation since 2003 due to 

unregulated water use upstream of the 

project. As a result, the exemptee has 

determined it would like to surrender 

the exemption. The connection between 

the project and the power grid has been 

locked out. No ground disturbance is 

associated with the proposed surrender 

and project features will remain in 

place.
