Cub River Irrigation Company; Notice
of Preliminary Determination of a
Qualifying Conduit Hydropower
Facility and Soliciting Comments and
Motions To Intervene
On February 10, 2015, the Cub River
Irrigation Company filed a notice of
intent to construct a qualifying conduit
hydropower facility, pursuant to section
30 of the Federal Power Act (FPA), as
amended by section 4 of the
Hydropower Regulatory Efficiency Act
of 2013 (HREA). The proposed Middle
Ditch Hydroelectric Project would have
an installed capacity of 480 kilowatts
(kW) and would be located on the
existing Middle Ditch Canal, which
transports water for agricultural
irrigation purposes. The project would
be located near the Town of Franklin in
Franklin County, Idaho.

Qualifying Conduit Hydropower
Facility Description: The proposed
project would consist of: (1) Four
proposed intake structures with 16-inch
butterfly valves attached directly to the
42-inch-diameter main pipeline; (2) a
proposed 60- by 40-foot powerhouse
containing four turbine generator units
with a total installed capacity of 480
kW; (3) three proposed 17-foot-long, 16inch-diameter pipes which return water
to the 42-inch main pipeline and, for the
fourth unit that only operates when the
other three units are not, a proposed 17foot-long, 30-inch-diameter pipeline
that returns water to Middle Ditch
Canal; and (4) appurtenant facilities.
The proposed project would have an
estimated annual generating capacity of
756 megawatt-hours.
A qualifying conduit hydropower
facility is one that is determined or
deemed to meet all of the criteria shown
in the table below.
TABLE 1—CRITERIA FOR QUALIFYING CONDUIT HYDROPOWER FACILITY
Description

Paul Greyshock; Notice of Preliminary
Permit Application Accepted for Filing
and Soliciting Comments, Motions To
Intervene, and Competing Applications
On December 4, 2014, Paul Greyshock
filed an application for a preliminary
permit, pursuant to section 4(f) of the
Federal Power Act (FPA), proposing to
study the feasibility of the Ft. Pierce
Pilot Project (Ft. Pierce Project or
project) to be located in the Fort Pierce
Inlet, near the City of Fort Pierce, St.
Lucie County, Florida. 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 following: A prototype sub-surface
propeller generator encased within 6foot-diameter, 2-foot-wide tube,
screened on both ends to protect marine
life and protect the mechanism from
debris. The generator has a capacity of
40 kilowatts, and will be suspended in
18-foot-deep water near the mouth of
the inlet. Anchors on each end of the
generator housing will secure it to the
inlet floor. A transmission cable will
connect the generator to a series of
batteries located behind the Manatee
Bar and Grill to monitor load and
output. The estimated annual generation
of the Ft. Pierce Project would be 80.0
megawatt-hours.
