Notice of Preliminary Determination of
a Qualifying Conduit Hydropower
Facility and Soliciting Comments and
Motions To Intervene: Davis and
Weber Counties Canal Company
On April 27, 2018, Davis and Weber
Counties Canal 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 West
Point Pump Station Micro-hydropower
Project would have an installed capacity
of 8 kilowatts (kW), and would be
located along Davis and Weber Counties
Canal Company’s secondary irrigation
system. The project would be located
near the Town of West Point in Davis
County, Utah.
Applicant Contact: Richard Smith,
General Manager, Davis and Weber
Counties Canal Company, 138 West

Qualifying Conduit Hydropower
Facility Description: The proposed
project would consist of: (1) Two new
generating units that have a total
generating capacity of 8 kW, housed in
a pump return pipeline to a storage
reservoir; and (2) appurtenant facilities.
The proposed project would have an
estimated annual generation of 6
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
Statutory provision
Description
Satisfies
(Y/N)
FPA 30(a)(3)(A), as amended by HREA ...
The conduit the facility uses is a tunnel, canal, pipeline, aqueduct, flume, ditch, or
similar manmade water conveyance that is operated for the distribution of water for
agricultural, municipal, or industrial consumption and not primarily for the generation of electricity.
The facility is constructed, operated, or maintained for the generation of electric
power and uses for such generation only the hydroelectric potential of a non-federally owned conduit.
The facility has an installed capacity that does not exceed 5 megawatts .....................
On or before August 9, 2013, the facility is not licensed, or exempted from the licensing requirements of Part I of the FPA.

daltland on DSKBBV9HB2PROD with NOTICES
FPA 30(a)(3)(C)(ii), as amended by HREA
FPA 30(a)(3)(C)(iii), as amended by
HREA.
Preliminary Determination: The
proposed hydroelectric project will
utilize an existing irrigation pipeline,
the primary purpose of which is to
deliver lawn and garden pressure
irrigation water to these same counties
to Davis and Weber Counties. The
addition of the West Point Pump Station
Micro-hydropower Project will not alter
the conduit’s primary purpose.
Therefore, based upon the above
criteria, Commission staff preliminarily
determines that the proposal satisfies
the requirements for a qualifying
conduit hydropower facility, which is
not required to be licensed or exempted
from licensing.
