10 The average number of responses per
respondent were calculated by dividing the total
number of responses (Column 3) in each category
by the number of responses (Column 1).
11 The estimated hourly cost (salary plus benefits)
provided in this section is based on the salary
figures (https://www.bls.gov/oes/current/naics2_
22.htm) and benefits (https://www.bls.gov/
news.release/ecec.nr0.htm) for May 2017 posted by
the Bureau of Labor Statistics for the Utilities
sector. The hourly estimates for salary plus benefits
are:
Petroleum Engineer (Occupation Code: 17–2171),
$71.62
Computer Systems Analyst (Occupation Code:
15–1121), $67.82
Legal (Occupation Code: 23–0000), $143.68
Economist (Occupation Code: 19–3011), $71.98
The average hourly cost (salary plus benefits) is
calculated weighting each of the aforementioned
wage categories as follows: $71.62 (0.3) + $143.68
(0.3) + $67.82 (0.15) + $71.98 (0.25) = $92.76. The
Commission rounds it to $93/hour.

Notice of Preliminary Determination of
a Qualifying Conduit Hydropower
Facility and Soliciting Comments and
Motions To Intervene; Haights Creek
Irrigation Company
On October 12, 2018, the Haights
Creek 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 Haights
Creek Micro-Hydropower Project would
have a total installed capacity up to 24
kilowatts (kW), and would be located on
the existing Haights Creek Irrigation
Pipeline. The project would be located
near the City of Kaysville in Davis
County, Utah.

Qualifying Conduit Hydropower
Facility Description: The proposed
project would consist of: (1) Up to six
4-kW turbine-generators connected to an
existing irrigation pipeline with a total
generating capacity of up to 24 kW, and
(2) appurtenant facilities. The proposed
project would have an estimated annual
54741
generation of up to 105.42 megawatthours.
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
Satisfies
(Y/N)
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.
Preliminary Determination: The
proposed Haights Creek MicroHydropower Project will not interfere
with the primary purpose of the
conduit, which is to transport water for
irrigation by filling an equalizing
reservoir, which in turn provides
pressure for an irrigation zone in their
service area. 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.
Comments and Motions to Intervene:
Deadline for filing comments contesting
whether the facility meets the qualifying
criteria is 45 days from the issuance
date of this notice.
Deadline for filing motions to
intervene is 30 days from the issuance
date of this notice.
Anyone may submit comments or a
motion to intervene in accordance with
the requirements of Rules of Practice
and Procedure, 18 CFR 385.210 and

be received on or before the specified
deadline date for the particular
proceeding.
