Nevada Irrigation District; Notice of 

Preliminary Determination of a 

Qualifying Conduit Hydropower 

Facility and Soliciting Comments and 

Motions To Intervene 

On March 4, 2015, the Nevada 

Irrigation District 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 Loma 

Rica Hydroelectric Station In-Conduit 

Hydroelectric Project would have an 

installed capacity of 1,440 kilowatts 

(kW) and would be located on the 

existing Banner-Cascade Pipeline 

System, which transports water for 

agricultural and municipal 

consumption. The project would be 

located near the Town of Grass Valley 

in Nevada County, California. 

Applicant Contact: Gary King, 

Engineering Manager, Nevada Irrigation 

District, 1036 West Main Street, Grass 

Valley, CA 95945–5424, Phone No.

Qualifying Conduit Hydropower 

Facility Description: The proposed 

project would consist of: (1) A proposed 

105-foot-long, 36-inch-diameter pipe 

that connects to a proposed 30-footlong, 24-inch-diameter pipe that 

delivers water to the powerhouse; (2) a 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

proposed 1,000-square-foot powerhouse 

that contains one turbine-generator unit 

with a total installed capacity of 1,440 

kW; (3) an existing flow-split structure 

that distributes water to either the Loma 

Rica Water Treatment Plant or the 

Elizabeth George Water Treatment Plant; 

(4) a proposed 50-foot-long, 60-inchdiameter bypass pipe to the existing 

Loma Rica Flow Control Facility for use 

when the proposed project is not in 

operation; and (5) appurtenant facilities. 

The proposed project would have an 

estimated annual generating capacity of 

3,980 megawatt-hours.

facility is one that is determined or 

deemed to meet all of the criteria shown 

in the table below.
