The Commission’s Rules of Practice 

and Procedure require all intervenors

each person whose name appears on the 

official service list for the project. 

Further, if an intervenor files comments

l. Description of request: In the 

application filed on March 10, 2009, the 

City of Boulder seeks to convert the 

currently licensed Boulder Canyon 

Hydroelectric Project No. 1005 to a 

conduit exemption. This action results 

in the removal of certain licensed 

project facilities from the project 

boundary and from Commission 

jurisdiction. 

a. Licensed Facilities: The applicant 

proposes to convert its license to a 

conduit exemption for the Boulder 

Canyon Hydroelectric Project No. 1005. 

The applicant proposes to remove the 

following project facilities from the 

Commission’s jurisdiction: (1) A 175- 

foot-high, 720-foot-long concrete dam; 

(2) a reservoir (Baker Reservoir) having 

a surface area of 200 acres; (3) a 225- 

foot-long tunnel connecting a 11.7-milelong pipeline; (4) a Forebay (Kossler 

Reservoir) formed by three embankment 

dams; and (5) a steel penstock. The 

aforementioned facilities would remain 

operational as part of the applicant’s 

water supply facilities. 

b. Conduit Exemption: The applicant 

proposes a conduit exemption for the 

Boulder Canyon Hydroelectric Project 

No. 1005. The proposed project would 

be located on its water supply system in 

Boulder and Nederland Counties, 

Colorado, and would consist of: (1) An 

existing powerhouse containing one 

generating unit having an installed 

capacity of 10 megawatts, and (2) 

appurtenant facilities. The City of 

Boulder, Colorado, estimates the project 

would have an average annual 

generation of 11.6 megawatt-hours that 

would be sold to a local utility.
