The Commission’s Rules of Practice 

and Procedure require all intervenors 

filing documents with the Commission 

to serve a copy of that document on 

each person whose name appears on the 

official service list for the project. 

Further, if an intervenor files comments 

or documents with the Commission 

relating to the merits of an issue that 

may affect the responsibilities of a 

particular resource agency, they must 

also serve a copy of the document on 

that resource agency. 

k. Description of Request: The 

licensee proposes to surrender the 

project which occupies 6.4 acres of 

federal land managed by the National 

Park Service. The licensee states that the 

project is no longer operational and had 

not been consistently in service since 

2010 due to the following issues: Leaks 

in the power tunnel; maintenance needs 

at the headworks and powerhouse; and 

safety concerns along the access road 

due to an active landslide. The licensee 

states that the revenues anticipated form 

continued operation of the Project were 

exceeded by the estimated costs of 

making the needed repairs and seeking 

relicensing. In its surrender application, 

the licensee proposes to: Remove the 

diversion dam and associated 

headworks structures, tailrace fish 

barrier, and certain overhead 

transmission lines; seal the rock shaft 

and power tunnel; decommission the 

access road and powerhouse; and leave 

the powerhouse, tailrace, and penstock 

in place. The current license expires on 

January 31, 2027. 

l. At least five years, but no more than 

five and one-half years, before the 

expiration of a license for a major water 

power project subject to sections 14 and 

15 of the Federal Power Act, 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 

subsequent license. 18 CFR 16.6(a)–(c) 

(2021). 

m. If such a licensee informs the 

Commission that it does not intend to 

file an application for a new license, 

nonpower license, or exemption for the 

project, the licensee may not file an 

application for a new 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. 18 

CFR 16.24(a). 

n. On April 28, 2021, Seattle City 

Light, the existing licensee for the 

Newhalem Creek Hydroelectric Project 

No. 2705, filed notice of its intent to not 

file an application for a new license.1

On January 28, 2022, Seattle City Light 

filed an application for surrender of 

license. By filing a notice of intent not 

to file an application for a new license 

and an application to surrender its 

license, Seattle City Light has clearly 

expressed its intent not to file an 

application for a new license.
