Description of Existing Facilities: The Oakland project consists of an 18foot high by 655-foot long rock-filled timber crib structure with a concrete cap and a powerhouse containing three units. Currently, there is a 50- to 60foot-wide breach in the dam. The project has not operated since 2000. l. Description of Proceeding: Since 2000, the exemptee has not operated the Oakland Project because it lost its power sales contract. Since that time, the powerhouse, abutment wall, tailrace wall, and dam have fallen into disrepair, and no progress has been made to return the project to operational condition. Over the past 11 years, the Commission has directed the exemptee to either make repairs to the project to make it operational, or to file an application to surrender the project. Although the exemptee has responded to Commission requests by repeatedly providing plans and schedules to repair the project, no actual physical work has been done. During the summer of 2007, the dam developed a large hole, allowing most of the water to flow through this section. In April 2008, the breach expanded leaving a 50- to 60-foot-wide opening in the dam. In April 2011, the Commission again requested a detailed plan and schedule to repair or surrender the project. On April 20, 2011, River Bounty filed a lease agreement transferring the VerDate Mar<15>2010 17:43 Oct 11, 2011 Jkt 226001 exemption to Renew Hydro, LLC that was conditional on the project becoming operational. On August 18, 2011, the Commission notified the exemptee that it could not approve a conditional lease. Therefore on September 19, 2011, the Commission notified the exemptee that because it appears the exemptee is unable or unwilling to restore the project to operation, the Commission would begin implied surrender proceedings. m. Locations of the Documents: Documents relating to this notice are available for inspection and reproduction at the Commission’s Public Reference Room, located at 888 First Street, NE., Room 2A, Washington, DC 20426, or by calling (202) 502–8371.
