The Commission encourages 

electronic filing of motions to intervene 

(option 1 above) and has eFiling staff 

available to assist you at (202) 502–8258 

or FercOnlineSupport@ferc.gov. 

Motions to intervene must be served 

on the applicant either by mail or email 

at: 2200 Energy Drive, Canonsburg,

subsequent submissions by an 

intervenor must be served on the 

applicant and all other parties to the 

proceeding. Contact information for 

parties can be downloaded from the 

service list at the eService link on FERC 

Online. Service can be via email with a 

link to the document. 

All timely, unopposed 8 motions to 

intervene are automatically granted by 

operation of Rule 214(c)(1).9 Motions to 

intervene that are filed after the 

intervention deadline are untimely, and 

may be denied. Any late-filed motion to 

intervene must show good cause for 

being late and must explain why the 

time limitation should be waived and 

provide justification by reference to 

factors set forth in Rule 214(d) of the 

Commission’s Rules and Regulations.10

l. The existing Lower Great Falls 

Hydroelectric Project consists of: (1) A 

297-foot-long, 32-foot-high stone 

masonry and concrete dam that includes 

the following sections: (a) A 176-footlong spillway section with a crest 

elevation of 102.37 feet National 

Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929 (NGVD 

29) with 4-foot-high flashboards at an 

elevation of 106.37 feet NGVD 29 at the 

top of the flashboards and a 5.25-footwide, 4-foot-high debris sluice gate; (b) 

a 50-foot-long left abutment section with 

78320 Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 234 / Friday, December 4, 2020 / Notices 

two 8-foot-wide, 8-foot-high low-level 

outlet gates (only one of which is 

operational), that control flow into two 

7-foot-diameter, 40-foot-long outlet 

pipes; and (c) a 71-foot-long right 

abutment section; (2) a 40-acre 

impoundment with a normal surface 

elevation of 106.37 feet NGVD 29; (3) a 

40.5-foot-wide, 20-foot-high intake 

structure with four 5-foot-wide, 10.5- 

foot-high steel frame gates and a 

trashrack with 2-inch bar spacing; (4) an 

8.5-foot-diameter, 120-foot-long left, 

steel penstock that bifurcates into a 5.3- 

foot-diameter, 85-foot-long section and a 

7.6-foot-diameter, 85-foot-long section; 

(5) an 8.5-foot-diameter, 140-foot-long 

right, steel penstock that bifurcates into 

a 7-foot-diameter, 85-foot-long section 

and a 7.6-foot-diameter, 85-foot-long 

section; (6) a 46-foot-long, 30-foot-wide 

concrete and brick powerhouse with 

two 260-kilowatt (kW) F-type Francis 

turbine-generator units and two 380-kW 

F-type Francis turbine-generator units, 

for a total installed capacity of 1.28 MW; 

(7) a 55-foot-long, 30-foot-wide tailrace; 

(8) a 260-foot-long underground 

transmission line that delivers power to 

a 4.16-kilovolt distribution line; and (9) 

appurtenant facilities. The project 

creates an approximately 250-foot-long 

bypassed reach of the Salmon Falls 

River. 

The project operates as a run-of-river 

(ROR) facility with no storage or flood 

control capacity. The project 

impoundment is maintained at a 

flashboard crest elevation of 106.37 feet 

NGVD. The current license requires the 

project to maintain a continuous 

minimum flow of 6.05 cubic feet per 

second (cfs) or inflow, whichever is less, 

to the bypassed reach for the purpose of 

protecting and enhancing aquatic 

resources in the Salmon Falls River. The 

average annual generation production of 

the project was 3,916,825 kilowatt-hours 

from 2005 through 2018. 

The applicant proposes to: (1) 

Continue operating the project in a ROR 

mode; (2) provide a minimum flow of 30 

cfs or inflow, whichever is less, to the 

bypassed reach; (3) install an eel ramp 

for upstream eel passage at the project; 

(4) implement targeted nighttime 

turbine shutdowns to protect eels 

during downstream passage; (5) install a 

downstream fish passage structure for 

eels and other fish species.

o. Scoping Process. 

Commission staff will prepare either 

an environmental assessment (EA) or an 

Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) 

that describes and evaluates the 

probable effects, if any, of the licensee’s 

proposed action and alternatives. The 

EA or EIS will consider environmental 

impacts and reasonable alternatives to 

the proposed action. The Commission’s 

scoping process will help determine the 

required level of analysis and satisfy the 

NEPA scoping requirements, 

irrespective of whether the Commission 

prepares an EA or an EIS. Due to 

restrictions on mass gatherings related 

to COVID–19, we do not intend to 

conduct a public scoping meeting and 

site visit in this case. Instead, we are 

soliciting written comments and 

suggestions on the preliminary list of 

issues and alternatives to be addressed 

in the NEPA document, as described in 

scoping document 1 (SD1), issued 

November 30, 2020. 

Copies of the SD1 outlining the 

subject areas to be addressed in the 

NEPA document were distributed to the 

parties on the Commission’s mailing list 

and the applicant’s distribution list. 

Copies of SD1 may be viewed on the 

web at http://www.ferc.gov using the 

eLibrary link. Enter the docket number 

excluding the last three digits in the 

docket number field to access the 

document. For assistance, call 1–866–
