normal headpond elevation of 158.76 

feet; (3) a 22-foot-wide and 170-footlong reinforced concrete power canal 

located between the right bank of the 

Nashua River and the single flood sluice 

gate; (4) two 12.5-foot-long wooden 

stoplog bays located immediately 

upstream of the intake to the right of the 

concrete capped spillway (viewed 

facing downstream) with a 10-foot-wide 

gate and a short spillway section above 

the gate; (5) a 40-foot-wide, 20-foot-high 

intake structure with steel trash rack 

with two square-to-round transition 

openings that feed the two penstocks 

that terminate at the two turbines; (6) 

two 64-foot-long, 104-inch-diameter 

steel penstocks between the intake and 

turbine units; (7) a 44-foot-long, 44-footwide multi-level reinforced concrete 

powerhouse containing two 1,500 

kilowatt turbine-generator units; (8) an 

approximately 22-foot-wide, 1,100-footlong tailrace that is a channel cut into 

the Nashua River bedrock downstream 

of the powerhouse that returns water 

back into the Nashua River; (9) a 278- 

foot-long bypassed reach extending from 

the spillway crest and stoplog bays to 

the downstream of the powerhouse at 

the tailrace, bypassing 20 cubic feet per 

second (cfs) of water for environmental 

flows; (10) an upstream fish passage; 

(11) a 610-foot-long, 34.5-kilovolt 

underground transmission line connects 

the generator transformer to the 

interconnect point; and (12) 

appurtenant facilities. The estimated 

gross head of the project is 38 feet. The 

powerplant has a maximum nameplate 

capacity of 3 megawatts. The project 

generates an annual average of 12,563 

megawatt-hours. 

Nashua proposes to continue to 

operate the project in a run-of-river 

mode with no storage or flood control 

capacity. The project operates within a 

flow range of 180 cfs (150 cfs minimum 

hydraulic capacity to start a single 

turbine, plus 20 cfs minimum flow 

release at the dam into the bypassed 

reach and a 10 cfs flow routed through 

the Mill Pond gatehouse to the Mill 

Pond and canal) and 1,100 cfs 

(maximum hydraulic capacity of the 

plant—two turbines combined) or a 

river flow of 1,130 cfs. Any flow above 

the maximum hydraulic capacity of the 

turbines plus minimum flows and Mill 

Pond diversion is spilled over the dam 

spillway and through the overflow 

section of the flood sluice gate.

2024, to finalize testing of Well 7451 as 

ordered in the January 2018 Order. as

Beech Hill Storage Field, beginning with its first 

quarterly report filed on July 31, 2017 and 

continuing to its most recent report filed on 

November 16, 2020 covering the period April 1,

7Similarly, the Commission will not re-litigate 

the issuance of an NGA section 3 authorization, 

including whether a proposed project is not 

inconsistent with the public interest and whether 

the Commission’s environmental analysis for the 

permit order complied with NEPA.

time, until December 1, 2023, to 

complete testing.2

As of May 19, 2023, National Fuel is 

no longer testing Well 7451 by 

withdrawing gas from the well. National 

Fuel does not intend to undertake any 

further withdrawals from the well. 

Currently, National Fuel is working to 

finalize its report on Well 7451 and 

anticipates that the report will be 

finalized by December 1, 2024, due to 

the complexity of the data and modeling 

involved in evaluating data National 

Fuel has collected and reported to the 

Commission in its quarterly Beech Hill 

reports.3

This notice establishes a 15-calendar 

day intervention and comment period 

deadline. Any person wishing to 

comment on National Fuel’s request for 

an extension of time may do so. No 

reply comments or answers will be 

considered. If you wish to obtain legal 

status by becoming a party to the 

proceedings for this request, you 

should, on or before the comment date 

stated below, file a motion to intervene 

in accordance with the requirements of 

the Commission’s Rules of Practice and 

Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or 385.211) 

and the Regulations under the Natural 

Gas Act (NGA) (18 CFR 157.10). 

As a matter of practice, the 

Commission itself generally acts on 

requests for extensions of time to 

complete construction for NGA facilities 

when such requests are contested before 

order issuance. For those extension 

requests that are contested,4 the 

Commission will aim to issue an order 

acting on the request within 45 days.5

The Commission will address all 

arguments relating to whether the 

applicant has demonstrated there is 

good cause to grant the extension.6 The 

Commission will not consider 

arguments that re-litigate the issuance of 

the certificate order, including whether 

the Commission properly found the 

project to be in the public convenience 

and necessity and whether the 

Commission’s environmental analysis 

for the certificate complied with the 

National Environmental Policy Act 

(NEPA).7 At the time a pipeline requests 

an extension of time, orders on 

certificates of public convenience and 

necessity are final and the Commission 

will not re-litigate their issuance.8 The 

Director of the Office of Energy Projects, 

or his or her designee, will act on all of 

those extension requests that are 

uncontested.
