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 3,650foot-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 12foot-high, 16-foot-long concrete 1 16 U.S.C. 797(f).
