Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Project No. 2275–000] 

Salida Hydroelectric Project; Notice of 

Existing Licensee’s Notice of Intent To 

Not File a Subsequent License 

Application, and Soliciting Notices of 

Intent To File a License Application 

and Pre-Application Documents 

At least five years before the 

expiration of a license for a minor water 

power project not subject to sections 14 

and 15 of the Federal Power Act (i.e., a 

project having an installed capacity of 

1.5 megawatts or less), the licensee must 

file with the Commission a letter that 

contains an unequivocal statement of 

the licensee’s intent to file or not to file 

an application for a new license.1

If such a licensee informs the 

Commission that it does not intend to 

file an application for a subsequent 

license, nonpower license, or exemption 

for the project, the licensee may not file 

an application for a subsequent license, 

nonpower license, or exemption for the 

project, either individually or in 

conjunction with an entity or entities 

that are not currently licensees of the 

project.2

On March 15, 2022, Public Service 

Company of Colorado (PSCo), the 

existing licensee for the Salida 

Hydroelectric Project No. 2275, filed 

notice of its intent to not file an 

application for a subsequent license. 

Therefore, pursuant to section 

16.24(b)(1) of the Commission’s 

regulations, PSCo may not file an 

application for a subsequent license for 

the project, either individually or in 

conjunction with an entity or entities 

that are not currently licensees of the 

project. 

The 1.31-megawatt Salida 

Hydroelectric Project is located on the 

South Arkansas River and Fooses Creek, 

approximately 6 miles west of the town 

of Poncha Springs in Chaffee County, 

Colorado. The project occupies 33 acres 

of federal land managed by the U.S. 

Forest Service. The existing license for 

the project expires on April 30, 2027. 

The Salida Hydroelectric Project 

consists of two developments, Salida 

No. 1 and Salida No. 2. The principal 

project works of the Salida No. 1 

development include: (1) An 11.8-foothigh, 50-foot-long reinforced gravity 

dam on the South Fork Arkansas River, 

impounding the 3-acre-foot Garfield 

reservoir; (2) a 4,806-foot-long gravity 

steel pipeline from Garfield dam to 

Fooses reservoir; (3) a 31-foot-high, 218- 

foot-long earth and rock dam on Fooses 

Creek, impounding the 13-acre-foot 

Fooses reservoir; and (4) an 8,080-footlong penstock extending from Fooses 

dam to a powerhouse containing one 

750-kilowatt turbine. The principal 

project works of the Salida No. 2 

development include: (1) A 15-foothigh, 250-foot-long earthfill dame on the 

South Arkansas River, impounding a 10- 

acre-foot forebay; and (2) an 11,668-footlong penstock extending from the 

forebay to a powerhouse containing one 

560-killowatt turbine. The Salida No. 1 

development has been out of service 

since August 2009. 

Any party interested in filing a license 

application (i.e., potential applicant) for 

the Salida Hydroelectric Project No. 

2275 must file a Notice of Intent (NOI) 3

and pre- application document (PAD).4

Additionally, while the integrated 

licensing process (ILP) is the default 

process for preparing an application for 

a subsequent license, a potential 

applicant may request to use alternative 

licensing procedures when it files its 

NOI.5

The deadline for potential applicants, 

other than the existing licensee, to file 

NOIs, PADs, and requests to use an 

alternative licensing process is 120 days 

from the issuance date of this notice. 

Applications for a subsequent license 

from potential applicants, other than the 

existing licensee, must be filed with the 

Commission at least 24 months prior to 

the expiration of the existing license.6

Because the existing license expires on 

April 30, 2027, applications for license 

for this project must be filed by April 

30, 2025. 

Questions concerning this notice 

should be directed to Tim Konnert (202)
