Commission 

[Docket No. CD18–10–000] 

City of Englewood, Colorado; Notice of 

Preliminary Determination of a 

Qualifying Conduit Hydropower 

Facility and Soliciting Comments and 

Motions To Intervene 

On June 15, 2018, the City Of 

Englewood, Colorado (Englewood) 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 Big Dry Creek Hydropower 

Station Project would have an installed 

capacity of 5 kilowatts (kW), and would 

be located along a diversion pipeline 

that would route poor-quality water 

around Englewood’s primary municipal 

water intake facility. The project would 

be located near the City of Englewood 

in Arapahoe County, Colorado. 

Applicant Contact: Aliina Fowler,

FERC Contact: Robert Bell, Phone No. 

(202) 502–6062; Email: robert.bell@

Qualifying Conduit Hydropower 

Facility Description: The proposed 

project would consist of: (1) A nine-foot, 

six-inch cylindrical vault containing a 

single turbine with a total generating 

capacity of 5 kW; (2) a 20-inch-wide, 

900-foot-long pipeline that diverts water 

from the Big Dry Creek around 

Englewood’s municipal water intake; (3) 

a 24-inch-wide, 65-foot-long discharge 

pipeline returning water to the South 

Platte River; and (4) appurtenant 

facilities. The proposed project would 

have an estimated annual generation of 

43.8 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

water supply system. Therefore, based 

upon the above criteria, Commission 

staff preliminarily determines that the 

proposal satisfies the requirements for a

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Docket No. CP18–6–000] 

RH energytrans, LLC; Notice of 

Availability of the Environmental 

Assessment for the Proposed Risberg 

Line Project 

The staff of the Federal Energy 

Regulatory Commission (FERC or 

Commission) has prepared an 

environmental assessment (EA) for the 

Risberg Line Project proposed by RH 

energytrans, LLC (RH) in the abovereferenced docket. RH requests 

authorization to construct, modify, own, 

operate, and maintain natural gas 

facilities in Pennsylvania and Ohio to 

provide 55,000 dekatherms per day of 

firm natural gas transportation service. 

The EA assesses the potential 

environmental effects of the 

construction and operation of the 

Risberg Line Project in accordance with 

the requirements of the National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The 

FERC staff concludes that approval of 

the proposed project, with appropriate 

mitigating measures, would not 

constitute a major federal action 

significantly affecting the quality of the 

natural and human environment. 

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers 

and the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat 

Commission participated as cooperating 

agencies in the preparation of the EA. 

Cooperating agencies have jurisdiction 

by law or special expertise with respect 

to resources potentially affected by the 

proposal and participate in the NEPA 

analysis. The U.S. Army Corps of 

Engineers will adopt the EA to fulfill 

their agency’s NEPA obligations and 

will use the EA and supporting 

documentation to consider the issuance 

of Clean Water Act Section 404 and 

Rivers and Harbors Act Section 10 

permits. 

The Risberg Line Project would 

consist of the following actions in 

Pennsylvania: 

• Minor modification at the existing 

County Line Compressor Station in Erie 

County; 

• installation of compression 

(approximately 728 horsepower, natural 

gas-fired), receipt metering, and 

appurtenant facilities at the existing 

(currently vacant) Meadville 

Compressor Station site in Crawford 

County; 

• re-certification and use of an 

existing 12-inch-diameter pipeline 

extending 26.6 miles from the Meadville 

Compressor Station north to an existing 

valve set in Washington Township, Erie 

County, including construction of a new 

launcher/receiver; 

• next to the Meadville Compressor 

Station, construction of a 650-foot 

lateral within the existing 12-inchdiameter pipeline right-of-way to move 

gas from the Tennessee Gas Pipeline 

Company, LLC system to the existing 

pipeline; and 

• re-certification and use of a portion 

of an existing 8-inch-diameter pipeline 

extending from the 12-inch valve set 

west about 5.0 miles to a point in Elk 

Creek Township, Erie County (Line 

10257), including construction of two 

new launchers/receivers. 

In Pennsylvania and Ohio, the project 

would include: 

• Construction of 28.3 miles of new 

12-inch-diameter pipeline from the west 

end of the recertified 8-inch-diameter 

pipeline to connect with Dominion 

Energy Ohio facilities located in North 

Kingsville, Ashtabula County, Ohio 

(Risberg Pipeline). The pipeline would 

be constructed in new rights-of-way and 

include launcher/receiver facilities and 

mainline valves; and 

• construction of a new meter station 

at the terminus of the new pipeline in 

North Kingsville, Ashtabula County, 

Ohio. 

The FERC staff mailed copies of the 

EA to federal, state, and local 

government representatives and 

agencies; elected officials; 

environmental and public interest 

groups; Native American tribes; 

potentially affected landowners and 

other interested individuals and groups; 

and newspapers and libraries in the 

project area. In addition, the EA is 

available for public viewing on the 

FERC’s website (www.ferc.gov) using the 

eLibrary link. A limited number of 

copies of the EA are available for 

distribution and public inspection at:
