motion to intervene to the Commission 

in accordance with Rule 214 of the 

Commission’s Rules of Practice and 

Procedure 5 and the regulations under 

the NGA 6 by the intervention deadline 

for the project, which is May 6, 2022. As 

described further in Rule 214, your 

motion to intervene must state, to the 

extent known, your position regarding 

the proceeding, as well as your interest 

in the proceeding. For an individual, 

this could include your status as a 

landowner, ratepayer, resident of an 

impacted community, or recreationist. 

You do not need to have property 

directly impacted by the project in order 

to intervene. For more information 

about motions to intervene, refer to the 

FERC website at https://www.ferc.gov/ 

resources/guides/how-to/intervene.asp. 

All timely, unopposed 7 motions to 

intervene are automatically granted by 

operation of Rule 214(c)(1).8 Motions to 

intervene that are filed after the 

intervention deadline are untimely and 

may be denied. Any late-filed motion to 

intervene must show good cause for 

being late and must explain why the 

time limitation should be waived and 

provide justification by reference to 

factors set forth in Rule 214(d) of the 

Commission’s Rules and Regulations.9

A person obtaining party status will be 

placed on the service list maintained by 

the Secretary of the Commission and

2022. The filing of a comment alone will 

not serve to make the filer a party to the 

proceeding. To become a party, you

Commission 

[Docket No. CD22–5–000] 

City of Portland, Oregon; Notice of 

Preliminary Determination of a 

Qualifying Conduit Hydropower 

Facility and Soliciting Comments and 

Motions To Intervene 

On April 12, 2022, as supplemented 

on April 13, 2022, the City of Portland, 

Oregon, through its Water Bureau, filed 

a notice of intent to construct a 

qualifying conduit hydropower facility, 

pursuant to section 30 of the Federal 

Power Act (FPA). The proposed 

Washington Park Reservoir 

Hydroelectric Project would have an 

installed capacity of 30 kilowatts (kW), 

and would be located along an existing 

24-inch pipeline at the applicant’s 

Washington Park Reservoir in Portland, 

Multnomah County, Oregon. 

Applicant Contact: Susan Priddy, 

InPipe Energy, 920 SE 6th Ave 12th 

Floor, Portland, OR 97204, 503–380– 

8487, Susan@inpipeenergy.com. 

FERC Contact: Christopher Chaney, 

202–502–6778, christopher.chaney@

Qualifying Conduit Hydropower 

Facility Description: The proposed 

project would consist of: (1) One 30 kW 

turbine/generator unit; (2) 10-inchdiameter intake and discharge pipes; 

and (3) appurtenant facilities. The 

proposed project would have an 

estimated annual generation of 

approximately 77 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 Washington Park Reservoir 

Hydroelectric 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 

conduit hydropower facility, which is 

not required to be licensed or exempted 

from licensing. 

Comments and Motions to Intervene: 

Deadline for filing comments contesting 

whether the facility meets the qualifying 

criteria is 30 days from the issuance 

date of this notice.
