k. Description of Request: On
September 25, 2019 the Secretary of the
Commission issued a Notice of
Application for Amendment of Conduit
Exemption for the Sagebrush Project.
The notice described Big Wood Canal
Company’s (exemptee) request to amend
the conduit exemption, filed on August
22, 2019, and supplemented on
September 20, 2019. On October 24,
2019, the exemptee filed additional
information to reflect a proposed design
change to its amendment application.
Instead of removing the existing
powerhouse, which contains three
turbine generating units with a total
installed capacity of 315 kilowatts (kW),
and constructing a new powerhouse
containing a single 475-kW turbine
generating unit immediately
downstream of the existing intake
system, the exemptee now proposes to
partially remove the existing
powerhouse and to construct a new
powerhouse adjacent to the downstream
wall of the existing powerhouse. The
new powerhouse would contain a single
475-kW turbine generating unit, as
originally proposed by the exemptee.
Additionally, instead of removing the
approximately 400-foot-long existing,
buried penstocks (three pipes) and
excavating an open tailrace channel
along the route of the existing
penstocks, the exemptee now proposes
to replace the existing penstocks with a
single penstock.
