The 9.4-megawatt project is located on the Eel River and the East Branch Russian River in Mendocino and Lake Counties, California, about 15 miles northeast of the city of Ukiah. Project features include Lake Pillsbury, a 2,300acre storage reservoir impounded by Scott Dam; 106-acre Van Arsdale Reservoir, impounded by the Cape Horn Diversion Dam; and a tunnel and penstock across a natural divide to the project’s powerhouse located in the headwaters of the Russian River Basin. The Potter Valley Project is currently licensed to the Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) and the license expires on April 14, 2022. On April 6, 2017, PG&E filed a NOI to relicense the project and a pre-application document (PAD) and initiated the pre-filing steps of the Integrated Licensing Process (ILP). On January 25, 2019, PG&E filed a notice of withdrawal of its NOI and PAD, indicating it was discontinuing its efforts to relicense the project. The withdrawal became effective on February 11, 2019. On March 1, 2019, the Commission issued a Notice Soliciting Applications, establishing a deadline of 120 days from the date of the notice (i.e., July 1, 2019) for interested applicants, other than PG&E, to file NOIs, PADs, and requests to complete the pre-filing stages of the licensing process. The NOI Parties propose to continue the ILP initiated by PG&E. According to the proposed pre-filing process plan and schedule, the NOI Parties propose to complete a feasibility study in April 2020, consult on the need for additional studies, and file 1 a final license application by April 14, 2022. 1 The NOI Parties are proxies for a new Regional Entity that ultimately would be the license applicant for the project.

The proposed Cook Springs Hydro Station Project would have an installed capacity of 49 kilowatts (kW), 38617 and would be located at the end of a newly constructed 8-inch pipeline on private ranchland near the town of Lostine, Wallowa County, Oregon.

FERC Contact: Christopher Chaney, Phone No. (202) 502–6778, Email: christopher.chaney@ferc.gov. Qualifying Conduit Hydropower Facility Description: The proposed project would consist of: (1) A 13-foot by 14-foot powerhouse containing one 49-kW Pelton turbine-generator unit; (2) a 12-inch pipeline discharging water to an irrigation ditch; and (3) appurtenant facilities. The proposed project would have an estimated annual generation of 400 megawatt-hours.

TABLE 1—CRITERIA FOR QUALIFYING CONDUIT HYDROPOWER FACILITY Statutory provision Description Satisfies (Y/N) FPA 30(a)(3)(A) ........................................ 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 40 megawatts ................ On or before August 9, 2013, the facility is not licensed, or exempted from the licensing requirements of Part I of the FPA.

Notice of Continuation of Relicensing Proceeding

    On June 28, 2019, Mendocino County Inland Water Agency and Power 
Commission; Sonoma County Water Agency; California Trout, Inc.; and the 
County of Humboldt, California (NOI Parties) filed a Notice of Intent 
(NOI) to File an Application for a New License for the Potter Valley 
Project.
    The 9.4-megawatt project is located on the Eel River and the East 
Branch Russian River in Mendocino and Lake Counties, California, about 
15 miles northeast of the city of Ukiah. Project features include Lake 
Pillsbury, a 2,300-acre storage reservoir impounded by Scott Dam; 106-
acre Van Arsdale Reservoir, impounded by the Cape Horn Diversion Dam; 
and a tunnel and penstock across a natural divide to the project's 
powerhouse located in the headwaters of the Russian River Basin.
    The Potter Valley Project is currently licensed to the Pacific Gas 
and Electric Company (PG&E) and the license expires on April 14, 2022. 
On April 6, 2017, PG&E filed a NOI to relicense the project and a pre-
application document (PAD) and initiated the pre-filing steps of the 
Integrated Licensing Process (ILP). On January 25, 2019, PG&E filed a 
notice of withdrawal of its NOI and PAD, indicating it was 
discontinuing its efforts to relicense the project. The withdrawal 
became effective on February 11, 2019. On March 1, 2019, the Commission 
issued a Notice Soliciting Applications, establishing a deadline of 120 
days from the date of the notice (i.e., July 1, 2019) for interested 
applicants, other than PG&E, to file NOIs, PADs, and requests to 
complete the pre-filing stages of the licensing process.
    The NOI Parties propose to continue the ILP initiated by PG&E. 
According to the proposed pre-filing process plan and schedule, the NOI 
Parties propose to complete a feasibility study in April 2020, consult 
on the need for additional studies, and file \1\ a final license 
application by April 14, 2022.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The NOI Parties are proxies for a new Regional Entity that 
ultimately would be the license applicant for the project. The 
Regional Entity has not yet been formed under California law, but 
once formed the Regional Entity would supplant the NOI Parties in 
this ILP proceeding.
