[Project No. 13254–001]
Castle Creek Hydroelectric Project;
Notice of Preliminary Permit
Application Accepted for Filing and
Soliciting Comments, Motions To
Intervene, and Competing Applications
On November 1, 2011, the City of
Aspen, Colorado, filed an application
for a successive preliminary permit,
pursuant to section 4(f) of the Federal
Power Act (FPA), proposing to study the
VerDate Mar<15>2010
17:03 Dec 01, 2011
Jkt 226001
feasibility of the Castle Creek
Hydroelectric Project to be located on
Castle Creek, near the town of Aspen,
Pitkin County, Colorado. The project
would affect federal lands administered
by the Forest Service. 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.
The proposed project would consist of
the existing Thomas reservoir, Castle
Creek and Maroon Creek diversions, a
recently constructed penstock, and a 25kilovolt transmission line. The
reservoir, formed by a 13-foot-high
upstream heel and 30-foot-high
downstream toe, has a total storage
capacity of 15 acre-feet and a water
surface area of 0.6 acre at full pool
elevation of 8,175 feet above mean sea
level. The penstock consists of a 42inch-diameter, 4,000-foot-long pipeline
connecting the reservoir to the proposed
powerhouse.
The proposed powerhouse would be
located adjacent to the original
hydroelectric plant, with a single shaft
Pelton turbine, producing 1.175
megawatts of generating capacity. The
annual energy output would be
approximately 7.7 gigawatthours.

Proposed Consent Decree, Clean Air

Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice of Proposed Consent
Decree; Request for Public Comment.
AGENCY:
In accordance with section
113(g) of the Clean Air Act, as amended
(‘‘CAA’’ or the ‘‘Act’’), 42 U.S.C.
7413(g), notice is hereby given of a
proposed consent decree to address a
lawsuit filed by National Parks
Conservation Association, Montana
Environmental Information Center,
Grand Canyon Trust, San Juan Citizens
Alliance, Our Children’s Earth
Foundation, Plains Justice, Powder
River Basin Resource Council, Sierra
Club, and Environmental Defense Fund
(collectively ‘‘Plaintiffs’’) in the United
States District Court for the District of
Columbia: National Parks Conservation
Association, et al. v. Jackson, No. 1:11–
cv–1548 (D.D.C.). Plaintiffs filed a
complaint alleging that EPA failed to
promulgate regional haze federal
implementation plans (FIPs) or approve
regional haze state implementation
plans (SIPs) for 34 states, as required by
section 110(c) of the CAA. The
complaint further alleges that EPA has
also failed to act on ten regional haze
SIPs submissions, as required by section
SUMMARY:
PO 00000

110(k) of the CAA. The proposed
consent decree establishes proposed and
final promulgation deadlines for EPA
for meeting these obligations.
DATES: Written comments on the
proposed consent decree must be
received by January 3, 2012.
ADDRESSES: Submit your comments,
identified by Docket ID number EPA–

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Additional Information About the
Proposed Consent Decree
Under section 110(c) of the CAA, EPA
has a mandatory duty to promulgate a
federal implementation plan (‘‘FIP’’)
within two years of a finding that a state
has failed to make a required state
implementation plan (‘‘SIP’’) submittal.
EPA is not required to promulgate a FIP,
however, if the state submits the
required SIP and EPA approves the plan
within the two years of EPA’s finding.
On January 15, 2009, EPA found that 37
states, the District of Columbia, and the
U.S. Virgin Islands had failed to submit
CAA SIPs for improving visibility in
mandatory Federal Class I areas.
Where a state has submitted a SIP and
the SIP has been deemed complete,
section 110(k)(2) of the CAA requires
EPA to act on the SIP within twelve
months. EPA has received regional haze
SIP submissions from a number of states
but has not yet taken action on these
SIPs.
The proposed consent decree would
resolve a deadline suit filed by Plaintiffs
for EPA to take action on a number of
regional haze SIPs. The proposed
consent decree would address EPA’s
failure to promulgate regional haze FIPs
