502–6041.
j. On April 13, 2010, Commission staff
requested additional information from
TideWorks, LLC including project
operation, water velocity, and finfish
data in the area of the proposed project.
On May 5, 2010, TideWorks, LLC filed
a revised final exemption application in
response to the requested information.
Based on a review of the exemption
application, additional environmental
information subsequently filed by
TideWorks, LLC, resource agency
consultation letters and comments filed
to date, Commission staff intend to
prepare a single environmental
assessment (EA). The EA will assess the
potential effects of project construction
and operation on aquatic, terrestrial,
threatened and endangered species,
recreation, and cultural resources.
Because staff believe the issues that
need to be addressed in its EA have
been adequately identified, with this
notice, we are soliciting comments on
our intent to waive scoping for the
TideWorks Project.
k. Deadline for filing motions to
intervene, protests, and comments: 60
days from the issuance date of this
notice.
All documents (original and eight
copies) should be filed with: Kimberly
D. Bose, Secretary, Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission, 888 First
Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426.
The Commission’s Rules of Practice
require all interveners 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 intervener 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
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.
l. This application has been accepted
for filing, but is not ready for
environmental analysis at this time.
m. Description of Project: The
proposed TideWorks Project would
consist of: (1) A new 10-foot-wide, 20foot-long steel pontoon float suspending
into the river; (2) a new submerged 5
kilowatt single vertical shaft
hydrokinetic turbine generating unit
with four 4-inch-wide, 5-foot-long
blades; (3) a new 3.5-foot-wide, 40-foot-
VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 220001
long walkway ramp connecting the
pontoon float to Bareneck Island; (4) a
new 100-foot-long, 220-volt
transmission line; and (5) appurtenant
facilities. The project would have an
average annual generation of about
22,000 kilowatt-hours. The project
would operate in a run-of-river mode
using the river current flood and ebb
tidal flows to rotate the hydrokinetic
turbine generating unit.
n. A copy of the application is
available for review at the Commission
in the Public Reference Room or may be
viewed on the Commission’s Web site at
https://www.ferc.gov using the ‘‘eLibrary’’

paper-filed. To paper-file, mail an
original and eight copies to: Kimberly D.
Bose, Secretary, Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission, 888 First
Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426.
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.
k. This application has been accepted
for filing and is now ready for
environmental analysis.
l. Project description: The project
facilities would include 10 PowerBuoy
wave-powered generating units attached
to seabed anchors, tendon lines,
subsurface floats, and catenary mooring
lines. The PowerBuoy units would be
deployed in an array of three to four
rows, approximately in a SW–NE
orientation, and would occupy about
0.25 square mile of the Pacific Ocean.
Each PowerBuoy would have a
maximum diameter of 36 feet, extend
29.5 feet above the water surface, and
have a draft of 115 feet.
A power/fiber optic cable would exit
the bottom of each PowerBuoy,
descending to the seabed in a lazy ‘‘S’’
shape with subsurface floats attached to
the cable and a clump weight at the
seabed. The 10 PowerBuoy units would
be connected to a single Underwater
Substation Pod (USP) via power/fiberoptic lines. The USP would be about 6
feet in diameter and 15 feet in length,
and would rest on the seabed below the
PowerBuoys, held in place with precured concrete ballast blocks. A
submarine transmission cable, buried in
the seabed to a depth of 3 to 6 feet,
VerDate Mar<15>2010
16:31 Jun 07, 2010
Jkt 220001
would extend from the USP to an
existing wastewater discharge pipe. The
submarine cable would extend through
the wastewater pipe to an underground
vault, which would be constructed at
the existing turn-around at the end of
Sparrow Park Road, immediately inland
of the sand dunes. At the vault, the
subsea transmission cable would exit
the effluent pipe, transition to an
underground cable, and reenter the
effluent pipe.
The underground transmission cable
would continue within the effluent pipe
eastward for approximately 3 miles,
where it would connect to the Douglas
Electric Cooperative transmission line at
a proposed shore station. The shore
station would consist of a 100- to 200square foot building.
