Commission 

[Docket No. CD16–7–000] 

James W. Park; Notice of Preliminary 

Determination of a Qualifying Conduit 

Hydropower Facility and Soliciting 

Comments and Motions To Intervene 

On January 27, 2016, James W. Park 

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 Park Farm Hydro Project 

would have an installed capacity of 15 

kilowatts (kW), and would be located 

along the Lower Latham Ditch at an 

existing 400-foot-long concrete drop 

structure. The project would be located 

near the Town of Kersey, in Weld 

County, Colorado. 

Applicant Contact: Tim Olsen, PE, 

Advanced Energy Systems, LLC, 1428

80210, Phone No. (303) 908–2439. 

FERC Contact: Christopher Chaney, 

Phone No. (202) 502–6778, email: 

christopher.chaney@ferc.gov. 

Qualifying Conduit Hydropower 

Facility Description: The proposed 

project would consist of: (1) A new 

powerhouse, approximately 8 feet by 16 

feet, at the downstream end of an 

existing 4-foot-wide by 400-foot-long 

concrete drop structure; (2) a new 400- 

foot-long, 24-inch-diameter PVC 

penstock, with a Coanda screen intake, 

paralleling the concrete drop structure; 

(3) 10 cross flow turbine/generating 

units with an installed capacity of 15 

kW; and (4) appurtenant facilities. 

The proposed project would have a 

total installed capacity of 15 kW. 

A qualifying conduit hydropower 

facility is one that is determined or 

deemed to meet all of 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), as amended by HREA .. 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), as amended by HREA 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), as amended by 

HREA.

The facility has an installed capacity that does not exceed 5 megawatts .................. Y

TABLE 1—CRITERIA FOR QUALIFYING CONDUIT HYDROPOWER FACILITY—Continued 

Statutory provision Description Satisfies 

(Y/N) 

FPA 30(a)(3)(C)(iii), as amended by 

HREA.

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 addition of the hydroelectric 

project at an existing drop structure on 

the Lower Latham Ditch will not alter 

its primary purpose of distributing 

water for irrigation. 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.

Deadline for filing comments contesting 

whether the facility meets the qualifying 

criteria is 45 days from the issuance 

date of this notice.
