proposed facilities and the
environmental information provided by
Texas Eastern. This preliminary list of
issues may be changed based on your
comments and our analysis.

the pipeline to be abandoned may
contain polychlorinated biphenyls
(PCBs).
Environmental Mailing List
The environmental mailing list
includes federal, state, and local

update the environmental mailing list as
the analysis proceeds to ensure that we
send the information related to this
environmental review to all individuals,
organizations, and government entities
interested in and/or potentially affected
by the proposed project.
If we publish and distribute the EA,
copies of the EA will be sent to the

[Project No. 9543–012]
In addition to involvement in the EA
scoping process, you may want to
become an ‘‘intervenor’’ which is an
official party to the Commission’s
proceeding. Intervenors play a more
formal role in the process and are able
to file briefs, appear at hearings, and be
heard by the courts if they choose to
appeal the Commission’s final ruling.
An intervenor formally participates in
the proceeding by filing a request to
intervene. Instructions for becoming an
intervenor are in the ‘‘Document-less
Intervention Guide’’ under the ‘‘e-filing’’
link on the Commission’s Web site.
Motions to intervene are more fully
described at https://www.ferc.gov/
resources/guides/how-to/intervene.asp.

k. Description of Project Facilities:
The project consists of: (1) A penstock

18-inch-diameter steel pipe connecting
the downstream end of the overflow
bypass structure to the penstock; and (4)
a powerhouse containing one 250-kW
generating unit emptying into an
existing distribution ditch for fish
ponds.
l. Description of Proceeding: The
Districts state they want to surrender the
conduit exemption because the
inoperable project would not be
economical to restore and operate. On
March 14, 2011, the Districts purchased

Rim View LLC continued to operate the
hydropower plant until around

September 15, 2012. The Districts then
shut down the project. The Districts
state that on June 16, 2013, the Districts
terminated all hydropower purchase
and production agreements with Idaho
Power Company. Idaho Power Company
disconnected the facility from the power
grid and removed the interconnection
equipment. By early 2014, the
hydropower plant was sold for salvage
and was removed from the Hatchery
premises, including all remaining
generators, motors, electrical panels,
and other equipment. All that remains
of the hydropower plant is its exterior
shell, which is secured and now used
for storage and maintenance purposes.
The Districts are not proposing any
further decommissioning work at the
site.
