Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Project No. 13466–000] 

City of Gresham, OR; Notice of 

Preliminary Permit Application 

Accepted for Filing and Soliciting 

Comments, Motions To Intervene, and 

Competing Applications 

June 9, 2009. 

On May 15, 2009, the City of Gresham 

(permittee) filed an application for a 

three-year preliminary permit under 

Section 4(f) of the Federal Power Act 

(FPA) 1 to study the feasibility of the 

proposed 50-kilowatt (kW) City of 

Gresham Wastewater Treatment Plant 

Outfall Hydroelectric Project No. 13466. 

The project would be located in 

Multnomah County, Oregon. The 

existing City of Gresham Wastewater 

Treatment Plant (plant) and outfall is 

owned by the permittee. The sole 

purpose of a preliminary permit, if 

issued, is to grant the permit holder 

priority to file a license application 

during the permit term. A preliminary 

permit does not authorize the permit 

holder to perform any land disturbing 

activities or otherwise enter upon lands 

or waters owned by others without the 

owners’ express permission. 

Under current operating conditions, 

treated wastewater (effluent) from the 

plant is discharged into three parallel 

outfall pipes. These three pipes combine 

into a single pipeline before discharging 

the effluent into the Columbia River. 

Under the permittee’s proposal, effluent 

in one of the existing three parallel 

pipes would flow into a powerhouse to 

generate electricity before returning to 

the existing pipeline system. The project 

would consist of: (1) An existing 3,650- 

foot-long, 4-foot-diameter outfall pipe 

directing effluent from the plant to the 

powerhouse and from the powerhouse 

to the final outfall pipe; (2) a new 12- 

foot-high, 16-foot-long concrete 

powerhouse; (3) a new single turbine/ 

generator unit with an installed capacity 

of 50 kW; (4) a new 10-foot-long, 10- 

foot-wide concrete building to house 

additional controls and equipment; (5) 

an existing 650-foot-long, 4.5-footdiameter outfall pipe discharging flows 

into the Columbia River; (6) a new 100- 

foot-long, 12.47-kilovolt transmission 

line extending from the powerhouse to 

a proposed intertie with a Portland 

General Electric power line; and (7) 

appurtenant facilities. The plant and 

portions of the outfall that are not 

directly affected by the project are not 

included as project features. The 

proposed project would generate about 

413 megawatt-hours annually.

Pursuant to section 157.9 of the 

Commission’s rules, 18 CFR 157.9, 

within 90 days of this Notice the 

Commission staff will either: complete 

its environmental assessment (EA) and 

place it into the Commission’s public 

record (eLibrary) for this proceeding; or 

issue a Notice of Schedule for 

Environmental Review. If a Notice of 

Schedule for Environmental Review is 

issued, it will indicate, among other 

milestones, the anticipated date for the 

Commission staff’s issuance of the final 

environmental impact statement (FEIS) 

or EA for this proposal. The filing of the 

EA in the Commission’s public record 

for this proceeding or the issuance of a 

Notice of Schedule for Environmental 

Review will serve to notify Federal and 

State agencies of the timing for the 

completion of all necessary reviews, and 

the subsequent need to complete all 

Federal authorizations within 90 days of 

the date of issuance of the Commission 

staff’s FEIS or EA. 

Any questions regarding this 

application should be directed to: J. 

Kyle Stephens, Vice President of

2800, Houston, Texas 77046, at 713– 

479–8033 or fax at 713–479–1846. There 

are two ways to become involved in the 

Commission’s review of this project. 

First, any person wishing to obtain legal 

status by becoming a party to the 

proceedings for this project should, 

before the comment date of this notice, 


pwalker on PROD1PC71 with NOTICES
28230 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 113 / Monday, June 15, 2009 / Notices 

file with the Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission, 888 First Street, NE., 

Washington, DC 20426, a motion to 

intervene in accordance with the 

requirements of the Commission’s Rules 

of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 

385.214 or 385.211) and the Regulations 

under the NGA (18 CFR 157.10). A 

person obtaining party status will be 

placed on the service list maintained by 

the Secretary of the Commission and 

will receive copies of all documents 

filed by the applicant and by all other 

parties. A party must submit 14 copies 

of filings made with the Commission 

and must mail a copy to the applicant 

and to every other party in the 

proceeding. Only parties to the 

proceeding can ask for court review of 

Commission orders in the proceeding. 

However, a person does not have to 

intervene in order to have comments 

considered. The second way to 

participate is by filing with the 

Secretary of the Commission, as soon as 

possible, an original and two copies of 

comments in support of or in opposition 

to this project. The Commission will 

consider these comments in 

determining the appropriate action to be 

taken, but the filing of a comment alone 

will not serve to make the filer a party 

to the proceeding. The Commission’s 

rules require that persons filing 

comments in opposition to the project 

provide copies of their protests only to 

the party or parties directly involved in 

the protest. 

Comments, protests and interventions 

may be filed electronically via the 

Internet in lieu of paper. See, 18 CFR 

385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the instructions 

on the Commission’s Web site under the 

‘‘e-Filing’’ link.
