The Commission’s Rules of Practice
require all intervenors filing documents
with the Commission to serve a copy of
that document on each person 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.
Motions to intervene, protests, and
scoping comments may be filed
electronically via the Internet in lieu of
paper. The Commission strongly
encourages electronic filings. See 18
CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the
instructions on the Commission’s Web
site (https://www.ferc.gov) under the
‘‘eFiling’’ link.
k. This application has been accepted
for filing but is not ready for
environmental analysis at this time.
l. Santiam Water Control District
proposes to restore operation to the
Stayton Project which was operated by
Pacific Power until 1992. As proposed,
the Stayton Project would consist of: (1)
The existing power canal headgate
structure and fish ladder, and the fish
screen and 28-inch-diameter, 600-footlong juvenile fish bypass return pipe
located near the upstream end of
Stayton Ditch; (2) the 0.5-mile-long
Stayton Ditch; (3) the existing 24-footlong by 12-foot-high intake structure
equipped with 24.6-foot-long by 12-foothigh and 3-inch bar spacing trashracks
located just upstream of the
powerhouse; (4) the existing 40-foot-
PO 00000
Frm 00017
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
long V-type spillway weir and integral
powerhouse containing a single 600kilowatt generating unit; (5) the existing
24-foot-long by 12-foot-high outlet
structure located just downstream of the
powerhouse; (6) the existing 0.5-milelong tailrace channel and tailrace fish
barrier; (7) the existing 100-foot-long,
2,400-kilovolt transmission line; and (8)
appurtenant facilities. The project
would have an average annual
generation of 4,320 megawatt-hours.
Additional project facilities may
include the existing: (1) Spill dam and
fish ladder located on the North
Channel of the Santiam River just
upstream of the power canal headgate
structure; and (2) the berm habitat
channel located between the
powerhouse and tailrace fish barrier.
m. Pre-filing Consultation: The
tendering notice issued on August 7,
2007 stated our intent to use the
consultation that has occurred on this
project for the previous conduit
exemption application supplemented
with National Environmental Policy Act
scoping as a means to conduct further
consultation with resource agencies and
interested entities. Therefore, we noted
our intent to waive pre-filing
consultation sections 4.38(a)–(g) which
requires, among other things, holding a
joint meeting and distributing and
consulting on a draft exemption
application.
In letters filed on August 10 and 17,
2007, the U.S. Department of the
Interior and Oregon Water Resources
Department, respectively, noted
numerous omissions in the exemption
application that were identified in 2005
but were not addressed, and
recommended additional consultation
to assist in developing a complete
exemption application. Since we will be
conducting scoping, additional
consultation will be afforded. Therefore,
we are waiving sections 4.38(a)–(g) of
the pre-filing consultation regulations.
n. Scoping.
Commission staff are soliciting
comments, recommendations, and
information, on the Scoping Document
(SD) issued on February 7, 2008. Copies
of the application and SD outlining the
subject areas to be addressed in the EA

a single Environmental Assessment (EA)
for the Stayton Project in accordance
with the National Environmental Policy
Act. The EA will consider both sitespecific and cumulative environmental
impacts and reasonable alternatives to
the proposed action.
