k. Description of Project: The existing 

run-of-river Bass/Wilson Hydroelectric 

Project will consist of the following 

existing facilities: (1) A nine-foot-high 

dam at the outlet of Wilson Stream; (2) 

an existing bulkhead, waste gate, canal, 

and a two-foot-high, eight-foot-wide 

tailrace built prior to 1887; (3) a turbine 

room and powerhouse constructed in 

1904. The applicant proposes to install: 

(1) A 78-kilowatt turbine generating unit 

for electrical production rated at 18 feet 

of net head with an average flow of 65 

cubic feet per second; (2) an intake 

through a concrete wall on the upstream 

end of the building in the current power 

canal; (3) a 36-inch to 48-inch diameter 

fiberglass conduit in the existing 

raceway under the building; (4) and 

appurtenant facilities. The power 

generated will be used on-site and all 

excess power will be distributed via 

connection to the interstate grid. 

When a Declaration of Intention is 

filed with the Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission, the Federal Power Act 

requires the Commission to investigate 

and determine if the project would 

affect the interests of interstate or 

foreign commerce. The Commission also 

determines whether or not the project: 

(1) Would be located on a navigable 

waterway; (2) would occupy public 

lands or reservations of the United 

States; (3) would utilize surplus water 

or water power from a government dam; 

or (4) would be located on a nonnavigable stream over which Congress 

has Commerce Clause jurisdiction and 

would be constructed or enlarged after 

1935.

Consolidated Irrigation Company; 

Notice of Preliminary Determination of 

a Qualifying Conduit Hydropower 

Facility and Soliciting Comments and 

Motions To Intervene 

On November 12, 2014, the 

Consolidated Irrigation Company 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 Glendale 

Conduit Hydro Project would have an 

installed capacity of 450 kilowatts (kW) 

and would be located on the existing 36- 

inch-diameter Combined Conduit, 

which joins the Cub River conduit and 

Mink Creek conduits. These conduits 

are used to transport water for irrigation. 

The project would be located near the 

city of Preston in Franklin County, 

Idaho.

[Project No. 13466–003] 

City of Gresham; Notice of 

Effectiveness of Surrender 

On October 18, 2011, the Commission 

issued an Order Granting Exemption 

from Licensing (Conduit) 1 to the City of 

Gresham (exemptee) for the proposed 

City of Gresham Wastewater Treatment 

Plant Outfall Hydroelectric Project, 

FERC No. 13466. The small conduit 

hydropower project would be located at 

the exemptee’s Wastewater Treatment 

Plant, in Multnomah County, Oregon. 

On October 21, 2014, the exemptee 

filed an application with the 

Commission to surrender the 

exemption. The exemptee has 

reevaluated the economics of the project 

and has decided not to move forward 

with construction of the project, citing 

insufficient economic returns and 

cheaper alternatives in reducing 

greenhouse gas emissions. 

Accordingly, the Commission accepts 

the exemptee’s surrender of its 

exemption from licensing, effective 30 

days from the date of this notice, at the 

close of business on Thursday, 

December 18, 2014. No license, 

exemption, or preliminary permit 

applications for the project site may be 

filed until Friday, December 19, 2014.
