30.2-foot-long section with a seven-footwide log sluice and a ten-foot-wide 

tainter gate; (d) an 89-foot-long auxiliary 

spillway with 42-inch-high flashboards 

and a crest elevation of 187.5 feet msl 

at the top of the flashboards; (e) a 22.2-

system; and (6) appurtenant facilities. 

The project creates an approximately 

70-foot-long bypassed reach of the 

Passadumkeag River. 

As required by Article 19 of the 

current license, KEI Power operates the 

project as a run-of-river (ROR) facility. 

Downstream fish passage is provided by 

a bypass facility located adjacent to the 

left side of the intake structure and 

powerhouse, and consists of a 3.7-footwide log sluice, a 5.1-foot-wide, 5.8- 

foot-long concrete fish collection box, 

and a 69.7-foot-long, 18-inch-diameter 

fiberglass fish passage pipe that 

discharges into a plunge pool next to the 

tailrace. Upstream fish passage is 

provided by a 3-foot-wide Denil fishway 

located adjacent to the right side of the 

intake structure and powerhouse. 

KEI Power proposes to: (1) Continue 

operating the project as a ROR facility; 

(2) install upstream and downstream eel 

passage facilities; (3) install seasonal 

trashrack overlays with 0.875 inch 

diameter holes; (4) modify the discharge 

location of the existing downstream fish 

passage pipe to discharge adjacent to the 

existing upstream fish passage entrance; 

and (5) develop a fishway operation and 

management plan. 

The average annual generation of the 

project was approximately 4,144 

megawatt-hours from 2016 through 

2020.

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. At this time, 

we do not anticipate holding on-site 

scoping meetings. 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 

January 27, 2022. 

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

[Docket No. CD22–3–000] 

Municipality of Anchorage Water & 

Wastewater Utility; Notice of 

Preliminary Determination of a 

Qualifying Conduit Hydropower 

Facility and Soliciting Comments and 

Motions To Intervene 

On January 24, 2022, the Municipality 

of Anchorage Water & Wastewater 

Utility filed a notice of intent to 

construct a qualifying conduit 

hydropower facility, pursuant to section 

30 of the Federal Power Act (FPA). The 

proposed 92nd Avenue Pressure Relief 

Valve (PRV) Facility Project would have 

an installed capacity of 45 kilowatts 

(kW), and would be located along an 

existing 30-inch pipeline feeding the 

92nd Avenue PRV Station in 

Anchorage, Anchorage Borough, Alaska.

Qualifying Conduit Hydropower 

Facility Description: The proposed 

project would consist of: (1) One 45 kW 

turbine/generator unit; (2) intake and 

discharge pipes connecting to the 30- 

inch pipeline; and (3) appurtenant 

facilities. The proposed project would 

have an estimated annual generation of 

approximately 306 megawatt-hours. 

A qualifying conduit hydropower 

facility is one that is determined or 

deemed to meet all 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) .......................................... 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) ...................................... 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) ..................................... The facility has an installed capacity that does not exceed 40 megawatts ................... Y 

FPA 30(a)(3)(C)(iii) ..................................... On or before August 9, 2013, the facility is not licensed, or exempted from the licensing requirements of Part I of the FPA.Y 

Preliminary Determination: The 

proposed 92nd Avenue Pressure Relief 

Valve Facility Project will not alter the 

primary purpose of the conduit, which 

is to transport water for municipal use. 

Therefore, based upon the above 

criteria, Commission staff preliminarily 

determines that the proposal satisfies 

the requirements for a qualifying
